Pitching Match-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>St. Louis:</b> Jack Flaherty (11-8 2.75 ERA) <b>Atlanta:</b> Mike Foltynewicz (8-6 4.54 ERA)
</p>
<p>
Flaherty gets the start for the Cardinals in this winner-take-all Game 5, and he started Game 2 of this series, where he gave up three earned runs on eight hits in seven innings but got no help from the lineup in the 3-0 St. Louis loss. He had not given up any earned runs in his previous two starts, which were his last two of the regular season. The Cardinals were 1-1 this season in Flaherty's two starts against the Braves, which were both in May, where in the start in St. Louis gave up three earned runs in a win, and Atlanta did not give up any earned runs in six innings in a loss. Before giving up three earned runs in Atlanta in Game 2 of this series, he had only given up one earned run in his previous three road starts where he lasted 23 innings.
</p>
<p>
Foltynewicz opposed Flaherty in Game 2 and pitched a gem tossing seven scoreless innings and only allowing three hits in the 3-0 Atlanta win. The Braves lost his last start of the season, where he gave up three earned runs in only four innings, but the team had won his previous 12 starts. In Foltynewicz's first start of the season against the Cardinals in Atlanta,, he was shelled for eight earned runs in four 2/3 innings in a 14-3 loss, and then ten days later facing them gave up no earned runs in six innings in St. Louis in a win.
