Pujols Homers Twice In Cardinals Win

Pujols had a solo homer in the second inning and a three-run shot in the eighth, putting his career tally at 689, closing in on Alex Rodriguez on the all-time list, who’s in fourth place with 696.

It was also the 42-year-old’s 63rd career multi-homer game, tying him with Willie Mays for fifth all time.

Rays' Rasmussen Losts Perfect Game In Ninth

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Drew Rasmussen lost a perfect game bid in the ninth inning Sunday when the Baltimore Orioles’ Jorge Mateo hit a leadoff double. Rasmussen got a standing ovation from the Florida crowd after Mateo’s hit, and then again after he was pulled from the game with one out. The Rays went on to win 4-1. 

Dodgers Win Streak Ends

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ 12-game win streak came to an end Sunday in a 4-0 shutout loss to the Kansas City Royals.

The Dodgers, who were trying to match their longest winning streak since moving to Los Angeles in 1958, having won 13 straight in 1962 and 1965, managed just two hits.
