Cardinals/Pujols set to take on Chacon/Astros

Albert Pujols and the St. Louis Cardinals have dropped two straight decisions. Albert Pujols is 0-5 in those two games. All bets are on that to change tonight. Hopefully a few Albert hits, and a Cardinal win. It won’t be easy, as the redbirds will face the tough righthander Shawn Chacon, for a 6:05 start tonight in Houston.

In Chacon’s last start, he went 7 strong innings allowing 7 hits, 2 runs, striking out 7 batters, and only allowing two solo homeruns, to pick up his second win of the season. On the season Chacon is 2-1 with a 4.41 era.  In his career, Chacon is 1-0 in 13 appearances.

Albert Pujols is leading the team with a .357 batting average. In his career against Chacon, he is 6-19 for a .319 batting average, with 2 homeruns, 2 rbi’s and four walks. He has struck out one time.

It’s time for Albert to have one of those “big nights” we see every so often with El Hombre. Tonight would be a good night for a big night, a strong outing from Wainwright, and a big red weezy W for the Redbirds!

Go Cardinals! Enjoy the game!
