Despite our guy Albert Pujols blasting a solo homerun, and the Cardinals banging home five runs in 2 1/3 innings, they were not able to pick up a win on Monday. The 2008 homeopener was cut short due to rain. The Cardinals and Rockies will make the game up Tuesday night, at 7:15pm.
Tomorrow, Albert will face Rockies 29 year old righthander Aaron Cook. Let’s take a look at how Albert has done against Mr. Cook:
- 2-5, 2 doubles, 2 rbi’s, 2 walks
Cook in his career against the Cardinals:
- 5 games started
- 0-3, 6.75 era
So, no, Albert doesn’t get his opening day homerun. But it’s time to tee off against Mr. Cook, and come away with a season opening win on Tuesday!
