Albert Pujols passes Babe Ruth on all-time RBI list with home run No. 703

Albert Pujols just keeps mashing — and moving up in baseball history.

The St. Louis Cardinals slugger, who became the fourth member of the 700-home run club in September, hit No. 703 against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday.

The two-run blast to left field off Pittsburgh starter Mitch Keller gave the Cardinals a 2-0 lead in the sixth inning before the Pirates rallied for a 3-2 win. It also secured another noteworthy spot in MLB record books. The home run gave him his 2,215th and 2,216th career RBI, moving him past Babe Ruth for sole possession of second place on the all-time list.
