    Kerry Wood got himself into a 9th-inning bases loaded, no out jam & almost got out of it with his most triumphant save of the season.

    Skip Schumaker had other ideas, as he hit a game-winning 2-run single to give the St. Louis Cardinals their first win in 33 tries when trailing after the 8th inning with a 5-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday afternoon from Busch Stadium.

    The Chicago Cubs got solo homers from Kosuke Fukudome & Geovany Soto, plus 6 strong shutout innings from Carlos Zambrano to edge the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 on Friday evening from Busch Stadium.
