ANAHEIM -- Albert Pujols continued his historic trek toward 600 home runs on Friday night, launching his 595th career home run in the second inning of the Angels' 7-6 loss to the Astros in 10 innings at Angel Stadium.
Pujols hammered an 0-1 fastball from Houston left-hander Dallas Keuchel to dead center to give the Angels an early 1-0 lead. The ball rocketed off Pujols' bat at 107 mph, with a 21-degree launch angle, and traveled a projected 431 feet, according to Statcast™. It marked Pujols' hardest-hit home run since Aug.
