Cardinals' Albert Pujols: Drives in two runs, steals base

Pujols went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base Wednesday in a loss to the Mets.

Pujols knocked in the Cardinals' first two runs with a second-inning single, and he followed with another single and a stolen base in the fourth. The unexpected theft was the veteran's first this season -- he was caught in his only other attempt after going 13-for-13 on stolen-base tries over his previous six campaigns. Pujols has knocked in three runs over his past two games after notching only one RBI across his previous 12 contests.
