ST. LOUIS, May 3 (UPI) -- Skip Schumaker hit a one-out, two-run homer in the 11th inning Friday, giving the St. Louis Cardinals a 5-3 win over the Chicago Cubs.
The Cardinals began the month of May on a winning note after having set a franchise record with 18 victories in April.
St. Louis took a 3-1 lead into the ninth inning, but the Cubs forced extra innings when Alfonso Soriano hit a two-run home run off Jason Isringhausen.
Chad Fox (0-1) was on the mound for his second inning of work when Aaron Miles led off the St. Louis 11th with a single. Fox unleashed a wild pitch, allowing Miles to go to second, and Brendan Ryan laid down a sacrifice that sent Miles to third.
Schumaker homered to right on the first pitch from Fox.
That made a winner out of Ron Villone (1-0), who gave up a hit in 2 1/3 innings of relief.
The Cubs lost for the fourth time in five games and fell 1 1/2 games behind the division-leading Cardinals.
