ST. LOUIS (AP) - Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols was ejected for arguing a called third strike from the Pirates' Kip Wells in the sixth inning Tuesday night.
Pujols, who entered batting .328 and tied for the NL lead with 39 RBIs, was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. He immediately questioned home plate umpire C.B. Bucknor's call on a full-count breaking ball, drawing the ejection.
Mark Grudzielanek replaced Pujols in the No. 3 spot in the batting order and John Mabry moved from third base to first base to replace Pujols in the field.
