There's an old familiar face staring at everyone from atop the leaderboards.
The man once recognized as the best pure hitter in baseball went away for a little while, but the Angels' Albert Pujols is back, baby. He's smokin' taters once again, giving Mike Trout something he has sorely needed for years: a running buddy.
After Thursday's 7-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, Pujols has an American League best 19 home runs, hitting .270/.327/.541, with 37 RBI, 37 runs scored, a weighted on base average (wOBA) of .369 and a weighted runs created (wRC+) of 144.
