Pujols Leads Cards Over Padres

Pujols 10th Inning RBI Single Lifts Cards Over Padres 5-4

The Cardinals started the year off right by defeating the visiting San Deigo Padres 5-4 in the bottem of the 10th. Albert Pujols went 3-5 with 2 HR's and 4 RBI's and was the major factor in yesterday's win. Adam Wainwright went 7 innings with 7 K's and 3 runs allowed but didn't get the decsion.
Pujols hit an early 2-run shot deep into right to start off the season but ex-Cardinal Ryan Ludwick answered back with a solo HR of his own. Then the Padres scored 2 unanswered runs to lead 3-2 in the bottem of the 6th. CF Colby Rasmus answered the call and hit a solo shot to center field to tie it at 3. Then Pujols did it again by hitting his 2nd HR of the day to take back the lead 4-3. But Ludwick wasn't done by hitting another solo shot off of Ryan Franklin to tie it in the 9th. But in the bottem of the 10th, Pujols hit a RBI single that sent Skip Schumaker home to win 5-4. Skip Schumaker also had a great game going 3-4. Tomorrow is the 2nd game of a 3 game series with San Deigo. Chris Carpenter is on the mound vs Aaron Harang, the ex-Reds ace. Below is yesterday's box score. GO CARDS!
