Nobody has tormented the Astros more than Angels slugger Albert Pujols since 2001, but the former St. Louis Cardinals star isn’t above helping Astros players.
A month after offering career advice to Carlos Correa, Pujols gave Luis Valbuena a first base mitt and tips on playing first base.
“I asked Pujols if he could give me some tips for playing first base,” said Valbuena, who received the first start of his career at first base on Thursday.
