ANAHEIM – Apparently, Albert Pujols isn’t quite as washed up as many fans were ready to believe.
Since a career-worst 0-for-26 drought had plenty of frustrated Angels fans calling for Pujols to get a day off, or at least dropped in the lineup, he’s gone on a tear.
Pujols hit two more homers, and Mike Trout added one, in the Angels’ 6-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Monday night, after hitting one on Sunday.
Pujols’ blast to center field in the third inning and to left field in the fifth inning moved him alone into 13th place on the all-time list, with 565 homers.
