    While taking down the San Francisco Giants' bullpen, the St. Louis Cardinals got another positive sign from their former closer.

    Light-hitting Skip Schumaker capped a three-run eighth with a go-ahead infield hit after Ryan Franklin kept it close in the top half of the inning by striking out the side, leading St. Louis to a 4-3 victory on Tuesday night.
