KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) -- Albert Pujols finished off a three-day romp in Kansas City with two homers and six RBIs, helping the St. Louis Cardinals rout the Royals 12-5 Sunday in win No. 2,500 for manager Tony La Russa.
Pujols made a mockery of Kansas City pitching in his return to the town where he went to high school, hitting three homers and
driving in 10 runs in the Cardinals' three-game sweep over their cross-state rivals. The two-time NL MVP had four hits Sunday and delivered the decisive blow in the Cardinals' eight-run fourth inning, pounding his club record-tying third grand slam of the season off a window on the Royals Hall of Fame in left.
