St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols went deep twice Friday, becoming the fourth player in major league history to hit 700 career home runs.
Pujols hit his 699th home run in the third inning, a two-run shot off Andrew Heaney that gave the Cardinals a 2-0 lead.

He ended that with a pair of no-doubters on Friday.
The three-time MVP now has 21 home runs this season, making it the 18th 20-plus homer season of his 22-year career and first since 2019.
