Pujols still one homer from 600 as Angels host Twins (Jun 01, 2017)

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Adalberto Mejia, meet Albert Pujols.

When Mejia takes the mound for the Minnesota Twins on Thursday, he will be facing Pujols and the Los Angeles Angels for the first time. Mejia made his major league debut last year and has started five games for the Twins this year.

However, the 23-year-old left-hander could soon find himself in the history books if he catches a little bit too much of the plate when he faces Pujols, who is looking to become the ninth player in major league history to hit 600 home runs.

Pujols belted homer No.
