Pujols got a hit in three at-bats
Take a quick glance at the St. Louis-Washington score from Wednesday, and you might think you were viewing an NFL box. But no, the St. Louis Cardinals really beat the Washington Nationals, 29-8, in a MLB spring training game.
The Cardinals, who welcomed Albert Pujols back to the franchise as he made his spring training debut Wednesday, used a monstrous 15-run eighth inning to build upon a 13-4 lead.
St. Louis finished the game with 26 hits, and shortstop Paul DeJong led with five RBIs. Pujols, who signed a one-year deal to play out his final season with the club that gave him his start in the major leagues. launched a single.
Washington starter Anibal Sanchez allowed 10 runs on 12 hits in four innings. Reliever Cade Cavalli allowed 11 runs on eight hits through 2 1/3 innings.
Yes, it’s just spring training. But it’s still quite a spectacle.
