Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols made the most of Monday's doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox, hitting three home runs in the two games to move past Mike Schmidt for sole possession of 15th place on the all-time home runs list, per ESPN Stats & Info.
Entering the day with 546 career home runs, Pujols hit a solo shot off of Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez in the second inning of Monday's first game, giving the Angels a 7-0 lead on the rookie's final pitch of the day.
Pujols then pulled even with Schmidt at 548 homers when he hit another solo blast—this time off of Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright—in the second inning of the second game.
