First Pitch: As Pujols' quest for 700 heads west, Cardinals' outfield carousel spins anew

First Pitch is scheduled for 8:40 p.m. St. Louis time at San Diego's Petco Park.

SAN DIEGO — As Albert Pujols' quest for home run No. 700 shifts west and later into the St. Louis night, so too does the Cardinals search for the outfielders they'll take into the postseason.

And then there's the offense they hope reconnects with them on the road.

Pujols will be in the lineup and at designated hitter Tuesday night as the Cardinals visit Petco Park. Around him will be the shifting players the Cardinals are auditioning in the outfielder, starting with Lars Nootbaar in center and rookie Alec Burleson in right field.
