But they didn't dare play without Albert Pujols. Shut out on three hits until the ninth, the Cardinals surged for four runs off Pittsburgh reliever Chase De Jong, the go-ahead runs accounted for by Pujols, who drilled the 697th homer of his career, fourth most all-time. The Cardinals held on for a 4-3 victory. Tommy Edman and Corey Dickerson doubled to open the ninth inning and break up the shutout. Pujols, who had been 0 for 3 but had hit homer No. 696 the night before, jumped on 2-0 De Jong fastball and walloped it to deep right center to put the Cardinals ahead for the first time all day. They hadn't led until the ninth inning the night before either in a comeback win. Tyler O'Neill tacked on a home run, his 14th, to withstand a homer by Greg Allen off Ryan Helsley in the home half of the ninth. Pujols' 18th homer of the season and 14th in the past two months, moved him one home run ahead of Alex Rodriguez, whom Pujols had tied on Saturday night. Until the ninth, the Cardinals had been limited to three singles, one of them by rookie designated hitter Alec Burleson, who singled in the eighth off Duane Underwood Jr. for his first major league hit in his ninth at-bat.
