Albert Pujols added another storybook moment to his career on Tuesday night as he hit a walk-off sacrifice fly in the 10th inning to lift the Cardinals to a 3–2 victory over the Padres.
A sac fly was all the 42-year-old St. Louis slugger needed to drive in Tommy Edman, after Edman stole third base earlier in the at-bat. Pujols then drilled a pitch up in the zone into deep left field, which was enough to bring his teammate home.
After the ball sprung off his bat, Pujols took a few steps down the first-base line before pointing to the Cardinals dugout and smiling.
