Matt Carpenter, who did not start either games 1 or 2 of the National League Division Series at SunTrust Park, is expected to start Wednesday as manager Mike Shildt sticks with the lineup, or close to it, that won Game 4 at Busch Stadium. Against the pre-demotion Foltynewicz, Carpenter was three for 12 (.250) with four walks, a homer, and only two strikeouts. The Cardinals third baseman still is looking for his first hit as a starter in the best-of-five series, but he’s walked twice and provided a sacrifice fly. He’ll give Foltynewicz another lefty — a fourth lefthanded batter — to navigate around.
