Pujols goes 3-for-4, Leads Monarchs to Win
The Kansas City Monarchs topped the Houston Colt 45s by a score of 9-5. Leading the way was third baseman Albert Pujols. Pujols was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for the Monarchs. The winning pitcher was Frank Castillo. He tossed 102 pitches over 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits. Jeff Pfeffer recorded the save, his 6th.

Had Boog Powell not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Powell hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Monarchs.

"It's always a heck of a lot easier to get to sleep after a win," Pujols told the Kansas City Today. "I know I'll rest easy tonight."

The win gives Kansas City a record of 14-5.
