Pujols, the new “Mr. October” gives Cards 2-1 W.S. lead

October 23, 2011 By Bill Pollock

Albert Pujols hit three homers, drove in six runs and finished game three with five hits, all feats tying World Series records to help the Cardinals jump out to a 2-1 lead in the series after a 16-7 win Saturday night in Arlington, TX.

A ground out in the first inning left Pujols in an 0 for 7 slump against Texas, but by the end of the night, Pujols tied Babe Ruth (against the Cardinals in ’26 and ’28) and Reggie Jackson for the most home runs in a game and he set a Series mark with 14 total bases.

“I mean, with Babe and Reggie, that’s pretty good company right there,” Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said.

Pujols also tied a World Series record for hits in a game set by Paul Molitor in 1982, (against the Cardinals).

“It’s an honor to be named in the same category as those guys,” Pujols said.
