[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1783279, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/quick-hits-nolan-arenado-albert-pujols-overpower-rockies-in-cardinals-bounce-back-bash/article_c78f5327-70ea-537c-96cc-ea49cd26353b.html[/URL] DENVER — One made his major-league debut there. The other became a major-league star there. Both made themselves comfortable at Coors Field and put on a show there Wednesday night. Cardinals corner infielders Nolan Arenado and Albert Pujols, their hits in harmony in the middle of the Cardinals’ lineup, hit back-to-back homers in the sixth inning to punctuate their evenings and a 9-5 victory against Colorado. By the time Pujols’ 687th career homer cleared the wall and landed in the seats, he and Arenado both had a single, a double, and a homer. They each had two RBIs. Pujols, in his first start of the series and 3,034th game, added a fourth hit later. With eight total bases he moved within 16 of tying Stan Musial for the second-most in major-league history. Paul DeJong joined the hit jubilee by tying a career high with four hits, and outfielder Lars Nootbaar hit two triples — one to the right-center gap and the other to the left-center gap. A day after allowing 22 hits, the Cardinals whacked 17. They needed about that many as the ninth got really rocky for reliever Chris Stratton. Colorado had five singles before Stratton got a second out. The seven-run lead the Cardinals took into the bottom of the ninth assured that even with all the baserunners the tying run never came to the plate. [/QUOTE]
