Molina gave up a pair of homers and four runs while working the ninth inning, eventually completing the Cardinals’ three-game sweep. Pinch-hitting for Nolan Arenado with St. Louis up 11-0 in the fifth inning, Pujols launched a 425-foot drive off the left-field rotunda. “I feel like Yadi had more command of his fastball (than Pujols),” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said. Pujols gave three hits, walked one and struck out none. “Mine was better; I didn’t give up a double like he did,” Pujols told St. Louis media.
