ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Tony Womack was removed with lower back spasms after three innings of Game 6 of the NL Championship Series on Wednesday.
St. Louis' leadoff hitter singled in his first two at-bats, and scored on Albert Pujols' two-run home run in the first. He entered the game 6-for-40 in the postseason and 3-for-23 in the NLCS.
Hector Luna, acquired this past winter, replaced Womack.
Womack's status for today's game is uncertain.
"I think we have to wait to see how he feels," manager Tony La Russa said.
