Albert Pujols hit his first home run since returning to the St. Louis Cardinals in a 6-5 win over the Kansas City Royals. The Machine is back like he never left, and his home run was the highlight of another impressive offensive showing by the St. Louis Cardinals. Dakota Hudson and Jordan Hicks pieced together 6 solid innings, while Gallegos nailed down the save. With another rainout Wednesday, the Cardinals' biggest test of the year waits in Milwaukee.
