ST. LOUIS — Sometimes it is the hitters who provide all the relief necessary.
What Tyler O’Neill tied and Dylan Carlson broke, Albert Pujols finished with such a flourish that he not only put the Cardinals further ahead in the standings, he put himself closer to history. Before Pujols hit his second home run of the game, his 10th of the season, and his 689th of his career, two outfielders mired in slumps of different sized animated the Cardinals for a comeback victory Sunday at Busch Stadium.
The Cardinals hit four home runs – none bigger than O’Neill’s, except for Carlson’s, and none louder than Pujols’ second – to upend the Brewers, 6-3, in a swift 2 hour, 17 minute game.
