Albert Pujols joined a new echelon of MLB’s all-time greatest hitters on Friday.
“The Machine” notched two home runs against the Dodgers, one in the top of the third inning and one in the fourth, to become just the fourth player in MLB history to reach 700 homers.
In the top of the fourth inning with runners on second and third base, Pujols blasted Dodgers pitcher Phil Bickford’s slider deep to left field for a three-run homer to secure the historic milestone.
With the legendary blast, Pujols has hit exactly 500 home runs off right-handed pitchers and 200 of left-handed pitchers in his career, according to ESPN Stats and Info.
