Albert Pujols hit his 702nd career home run and tied Babe Ruth for second on the all-time RBI on Sunday, but the Pittsburgh Pirates took the game from the St.
Louis Cardinals 7-5. "I'm really blessed to be back here," said Pujols, who has 468 homers with the Cardinals. "To finish my career where everything started, it means a lot." Ben Gamel and Bryan Reynolds homered for Pittsburgh, which has won four of six.
Reliever Chase DeJong (6-2) got the win for the Pirates, allowing one run on four hits over 1 2/3 innings. David Bednar recorded his 19th save in 23 opportunities.
