Here are all 59 home runs Albert Pujols hit against the Cubs in his 22-year career, with every pitcher and game outcome.
What follows is every home run Pujols hit against the Cubs in his career, including the pitcher and game outcome — a ledger that includes three each off Kerry Wood, Mark Prior and Greg Maddux, 35 solo home runs, only one grand slam, six homers that came in a pair of three-homer games and a mere two walkoff blasts.
The walkoffs came in back-to-back games in June 2011, both in extra innings — the second coming in the 10th inning off Rodrigo Lopez after ex-Cub Ryan Theriot had tied it in the ninth with a double off Carlos Marmol. That 3-2 became better remembered for starter Zambrano’s postgame rant about Marmol’s pitch choice and execution against Theriot and this eventual summation of his Cubs: “We stinks.”
The grand slam was against rookie Rule 5 draft pick David Patton in April 2009, on the first pitch after a mound visit to discuss Patton having loaded the bases with a pair of walks after a leadoff single — a mammoth shot to left he said he’d hit as hard as he can hit a ball. “You can’t walk people in front of Pujols,” Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. “You might be able to do that in Modesto, but over here, I would suggest not. He hit that ball, I’ll tell you.” May 12, 2001, in St. Louis, vs. Kyle Farnsworth, 8th inn. — L, 5-2 July 28, 2001, in Chicago, vs. Kerry Wood, 5th inn. — L, 7-4 Aug. 30, 2002, in Chicago, vs. Carlos Zambrano, 1st inn. — L, 6-3 May 17, 2003, in St. Louis, vs. Mark Prior, 8th inn. — W, 2-1 July 4, 2003, in Chicago, vs. Kerry Wood, 1st inn.
