The Phillies, with Kyle Kendrick on the mound, are down against the Cardinals by a score of 5-0 in the series finale. On the hill for St. Louis is Chris Carpenter, who is typically a perennial Cy Young candidate but began this season with an astoundingly poor record of 1-7.
Cards RF Jon Jay has homered thus far, while Ryan Theriot and Skip Schumaker have also knocked in runs. As of the fourth inning, for the Phillies, only Chase Utley and Ben Francisco have had hits.
