 ST. LOUIS (AP) - Albert Pujols always knew the St. Louis Cardinals could straighten things out. Pujols' two-run homer snapped a seventh-inning tie, helping his surging team beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-4 on Wednesday night. The Cardinals (26-30) have won six of seven and pulled five games behind first-place Milwaukee in the NL Central.
"You look at our record and say 'Wow, it's a terrible season,'" Pujols said. "We knew the whole year wasn't going to be the way we started. We knew everything was going to click."
Kelly Stinnett drove in his first run of the season subbing for Gary Bennett, out of the lineup as a precaution after getting beaned by Aaron Harang on Tuesday. David Eckstein added two hits and an RBI for the Cardinals.
