Pujols gets another hit; Angels lead Cards 1-0 after four

Albert Pujols singled off the left-field wall in his second at-bat for the Los Angeles Angels Sunday night at Busch Stadium, giving him one hit in each of the three games he played here in his return after being gone nearly eight years. Pujols received standing ovations before each of the at-bats, grounding out with with two runners on to end the first and tapping out with a runner at first to end the fifth.

The Angels took a 1-0 lead in the second when Miles Mikolas, who rarely walks anyone, passed opposing pitcher Tyler Skaggs with two out.
