Albert Pujols hit his 701st home run, and the NL Central champion St. Louis Cardinals beat the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1 on Friday night.
The 42-year-old Pujols is fourth on baseball’s home run list behind Barry Bonds , Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth . He has said this is his last season.
Before the game, the slugger was recognized for hitting his 700th last week at Los Angeles. He was given a gold-plated, engraved bat by owner Bill DeWitt Jr., team president Bill DeWitt III and manager Oliver Marmol. Flaherty gave up four hits, struck out six and walked two in his fifth start since returning from a right shoulder injury that sidelined him most of the season.

I feel like every time I go out there he’s going to hit one,” Flaherty said. “I get to see the ball come off the bat and hear everybody, so it’s fun when he does that.”
