Albert Pujols Appreciated Ovation From Cardinals Fans, But Not Ready To Reflect On Moment

The Los Angeles Dodgers put on a power display in their 7-2 win against the St. Louis Cardinals, receiving home runs from Albert Pujols, Justin Turner and Will Smith.

Pujols got the start at first base in what marked his second return to Busch Stadium since leaving the Cardinals for the L.A. Angels at the end of the 2011 season.

Pujols’ first trip back in 2019 featured multiple standing ovations along with cheers after hitting a home run. A similar result played out on Tuesday as he homered off J.A. Happ to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead in the first inning.
