Every single Cardinals fan in Busch Stadium Sunday — and not ONE single Cubs fan — was hoping that Albert Pujols would come to bat one final time against the Cubs in the last 2022 game between the two teams and hit a home run.

This recap will focus on that home run.
Marcus Stroman threw seven brilliant innings, yet another fantastic outing for him away from Wrigley Field.
