ST. Darcy Tucker Jersey . LOUIS - Madison Bumgarner once again put the San Francisco Giants well on the road to a playoff victory.Bumgarner pitched shutout ball into the eighth inning and the Giants combined just enough hitting with a couple of defensive flubs by St. Louis to beat the Cardinals 3-0 Saturday night in the NL Championship Series opener.Bumgarner set a major league post-season record with 26 2-3 consecutive scoreless innings on the road.Thats pretty cool, he said. Theres stats for everything nowadays. Ive happened to have a little extra good luck on the road.Maybe, although his numbers show that perhaps its more than luck. In four post-season road starts, hes 4-0 with an 0.59 ERA.The left-hander, already a key part of two World Series championship teams in San Francisco, was in complete command.But 20-game winner Adam Wainwright made another early exit for the Cardinals. In his two playoff outings this month, hes failed to last even five innings.I think theres a scenario out there where I give up one run, Wainwright said. As ugly as it was, I would say my arm felt better than last time.Pablo Sandoval got three hits as San Francisco won for the 12th time in its last 13 post-season games, including three straight victories to erase a 3-1 deficit in the 2012 NLCS against St. Louis.Man, exciting to be in October, you know, Sandoval said. Last year I was home watching the game on TV.Jake Peavy gets the Game 2 start for the Giants on Sunday night against Lance Lynn.Bumgarner, who began the playoffs by throwing a shutout at Pittsburgh in the wild-card game, gave up four hits in 7 2-3 innings.Bumgarner bested the mark of 23 straight post-season scoreless innings on the road set by Art Nehf of the New York Giants from 1921-24.The Cardinals threatened against him only in the seventh on consecutive one-out singles by Yadier Molina and Jon Jay, but Kolten Wong tapped out and pinch-hitter Tony Cruz fanned.The Giants bullpen finished with hitless relief as Sergio Romo got the last out in the eighth and Santiago Casilla closed for a save.Wainwright was 20-9 during the regular season, including 5-0 with a 1.38 ERA in September with two complete games and a shutout. Hes piled up a major league-high 512 2-3 innings the last two years.The right-hander admitted before this series that his pitching elbow had bothered him during a start in the division series at Dodger Stadium.Its not 100 per cent, Wainwright said. I think it was 100 per cent better than it was the last time I pitched, Ill say that.In two October starts this year, Wainwright has permitted eight earned runs in nine innings. Hes 0-4 with a 5.14 ERA in his last five post-season appearances — he lasted 4 2-3 innings against the Giants after going just 4 1-3 innings in the NLDS opener vs. Los Angeles.The Cardinals twice failed to seal the deal defensively in the Giants two-run second.Third baseman Matt Carpenters fielding error with the bases loaded on Gregor Blancos soft one-hop liner at his feet was their first error of the post-season.Sandoval doubled to start the inning when rookie right fielder Randal Grichuk gloved the ball but couldnt hang on as he ran into the wall. Travis Ishikawa, 0 for 5 with five strikeouts and a walk against Wainwright, had an RBI single on a jam-shot bloop just over Carpenters head in shallow left.Wong misplayed a double-play ball at second base in the third, and Brandon Belts sacrifice fly made it 3-0.We make a few plays and we can still be out there playing right now, manager Mike Matheny said.NEXT UPGiants: Getting reunited with Bruce Bochy helped the 40-year-old Peavy turn back the clock. He worked 5 2-3 scoreless innings and won the division opener against Washington, a continuation on a strong finish — 6-4 with a 2.17 ERA — after Boston dealt him to the Giants at the July trading deadline.Cardinals: Lynn has been a solid No. 2 behind Wainwright, an innings-eater who has better learned to take setbacks in stride. Hes won at least 15 games all three years in the rotation, and this year worked three or fewer runs in all but four of his 33 starts, and hes 27-12 career at home. Ill still say hes probably one of the most underrated pitchers in the game, manager Mike Matheny said.TRAINERS ROOMMichael Morse was added to the Giants roster in place of rookie outfielder Gary Brown, but did not play. Morse had been limited to two at-bats since Aug. 31 with a strained oblique muscle. Brown was on the division roster, but was not used. Mats Sundin Jersey Jersey .Brady threw a 69-yard touchdown pass to Julian Edelman midway through the fourth quarter, and New England beat the San Diego Chargers 23-14 for its eighth win in nine games. Tiger Williams Jersey . Bjoerndalen, who had failed to win any major race for two years before Sochi, writes in a Facebook entry that he is "full of energy and inspiration" after winning the 10-kilometre sprint and mixed relay at last months Olympics.PEORIA, Ariz. - The Seattle Mariners have signed right-handed starter Chris Young to a major league deal for the 2014 season in the hopes of solidifying the back end of the rotation. Seattle signed Young on Thursday and designated for assignment left-handed reliever Bobby LaFromboise to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Young had been in spring training with Washington, making two starts and giving up four earned runs in 10 1-3 innings pitched. Tie Domi Jersey Jersey. Young spent last season in the Nationals minor league system as he struggled with troubles in his pitching shoulder. Young, 34, has spent nine seasons in the majors with the New York Mets, San Diego and Texas. The back of Seattles rotation has been a concern during spring training because of injuries to Hisashi Iwakuma and Taijuan Walker.
