St. Louis clinched the NL Central title with a 6-2 win Tuesday night in Milwaukee over the Brewers.
St. Louis Cardinals legend Albert Pujols is fine with a fan keeping his 700th home run ball, even if some think he should demand its return.
Pujols hit a first-pitch slider from Raynel Espinal 427 feet into the left-field stands for his 19th home run this season, tying the score 4-4.
Pujols hit career home run 697 as the Cardinals scored four runs in the span of five batters in the ninth.
Pujols immigrated with his family to New York in 1996, then moved to the Kansas City suburb of Independence, where his high school coach at Fort Osage, Dave Fry, once called him “a gift from the baseball gods.”
Cincinnati Reds star Joey Votto honored St. Louis Cardinals legends Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina prior to their series finale on Aug. 31.
