The Cards chase Madison Bumgarner in the 4th inning, thanks in part to homers by David Freese and Carlos Beltran. The Giants jump on starter Lance Lynn for four runs in the bottom of the 4th, but Joe Kelly relieves him and stops the bleeding before the rest of the team’s bullpen shuts out San Francisco for the rest of the game.
