Of course, known for his big bat, Pujols toed the rubber for the first time in his 22-year MLB career Sunday as he closed out St. Louis’ 15-6 rout of San Francisco. It was extra special as the win gave Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina the MLB record for wins by a starting battery (203). “It’s such an honor to be part of this record,” Molina said. Pujols entered to pitch the ninth inning and surrendered a three-run homer to Luis Gonzalez an...

His time away from St. Louis saw his batting average drop more than 30 points. Pujols, who won two World Series titles (2006, 2011) and three MVPs in his 11 years with the Cardinals, sits at 679 home runs...

Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera hit his 500th career home run against the Toronto Blue Jays during Sunday’s 5-3 win. Cabrera became the first Venezuelan and the 28th player to join MLB’s exclusive 500 home run club. The slugger achieved the feat by hitting a 1-1 changeup off Toronto starter Steven Matz to right field for a 400-foot solo home run in the sixth inning. “It was nice timing because that tied the game,” Cabrera told reporters Sunday. “That was big for us because we came in trying to win the series.” “As the first player in the 121-year history of the Detroit Tigers to accompli...
