The teams split the first two games at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. The NL East champion Nationals used a late rally to top the defending World Champs in Game 1, but the Cardinals tied the series with a convincing 12-4 win in Game 2.
Edwin Jackson will start for Washington, pitching against the team he played for last season. He was 10-11 with a 4.03 ERA for the Nats this year. Chris Carpenter gets the ball for the Cardinals. The first inning of Game 3 will be just his 18th inning pitched all season, after a nerve problem kept him out most of the year.
