When the Cardinals send Cris Carpenter to the mound in San Francisco this evening they will do so knowing he is back in commanding KW form with 2 walks and 16 strikeouts in his last three starts. He is also 3-1 with a 3.04 ERA in his career team starts in this series. Look for Carpenter to improve to 14-2 in his last sixteen road starts in May here tonight.
