The Cardinals beat the Royals, 4 – 3, on Skip Schumaker’s walk-off home run in the 9th inning, but are more concerned about a wrist injury sustained by All-Star 1B Albert Pujols in the 6th inning as he attempts to make a tag on Wilson Betemit. Pujols’ glove hand slams into Betemit and he falls to the ground in pain with what is first diagnosed as a sprained wrist. Tests conducted the next day will reveal a fracture.
