The Cardinals take a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the fifth on Albert Pujols‘s 37th home run of the season. This is the ninth time he reached 37 home runs, twice finishing exactly on the number. He’s hitting well over .400 in September with five homers.

Yadier Molina singles in Lance Berkman later in the inning and the Cardinals lead the Mets 4-1, still batting in the fifth.
