John Lackey pitched masterfully and home runs by Matt Carpenter and Kolten Wong powered the Cardinals to a 3-1 victory in game three of the NLDS.
Matt Carpenter became the first player in MLB Playoff history to have a home run and a double in three consecutive playoff games.
Carpenter hit a solo home run in the bottom of the 3rd to give Lackey the lead.
In the top of the 6th, Yasiel Puig tripled. Puig had struck out in his previous 7 at bats. Nanley Rameriz then doubled to score Puig with the tying run.
Kolten Wong stepped to the plate with Ydier Molina on second and drove a ball over the right center field wall off of reliever Scott Elbert to push the lead to 3-1.
