Albert Pujols‘ successful stint as a pinch-hitter for the St. Louis Cardinals has come to an end. After m walk.
He is one RBI away from becoming the first player to drive in 100 runs in his first seven seasons.
Pujols had not played first base since he was a late lineup scratch last Tuesday.
He certainly found ways to contribute, though: a liner off the left-field wall for an RBI single that sparked a three-run ninth-inning rally in Sunday’s 4-3 victory over Houston, an RBI single as part of a five-run seventh on Saturday, and the walk with the bases loaded on Friday.
Pujols, batting .323 with 31 homers, has six career pinch-hits and five RBIs.
