ESPNより抜粋。
Turning Point
Taguchi's ninth-inning at-bat. So Taguchi, who entered the game as a defensive replacement for Chris Duncan in the eighth inning, led off the ninth against Billy Wagner. After getting behind 0-2, he battled Wagner until the count was 3-2. Then, on the ninth pitch of the at-bat, Taguchi drove Wagner's offering over the left-field fence to give the Cardinals a 7-6 lead. St. Louis followed by scoring two more runs off Wagner.

ツー・ナシングから、ツー・スリーまで粘り、９球目をレフトに本塁打。素晴らしい。ポースト・シーズンで唯１人残った日本人選手。
