The Cardinals mauled Carlos Rodon on Sunday Night Baseball in front of a nationally televised crowd, Albert Pujols pitched, and Yadier Molina smacked a 417-foot homer all on the way to a 15-6 victory over the Giants.
Adam Wainwright returned from the COVID-IL and pitched six strong innings, but he had plenty of breathing room as St. Louis pounded out 15 runs on 17 hits in a series-clinching win Sunday night. Every starting position player had a hit. Six Cardinals had multiple hits. Pujols reached base four times and raised his OPS nearly 100 points. It was a big party from the get-go at Busch Stadium as the Cardinals embarrassed San Francisco on ESPN.
