St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols hit his 700th career home run, becoming the fourth player to reach the milestone in major league history. The 42-year-old Pujols connected for his second home run of the game, a three-run drive against Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Phil Bickford in the fourth inning. The ball landed in the first few rows of the left-field pavilion at Dodger Stadium. It was same location where homer No. 699 landed in the third inning off left-hander Andrew Heaney. With the drive in the final days of his last big league season, Pujols joined Barry Bonds, who had 762 homers, Hank Aaron with 755 and Babe Ruth at 714 in one of baseball’s most exclusive clubs. The Cardinals beat the Dodgers 11-0.

Hazardous weather has killed at least 36 people in northern India over the past 24 hours, including 12 who died after being struck by lightning. Officials are warning of more heavy downpours in the coming days. Across the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, some 24 people died after their homes collapsed amid unrelenting rains. Officials said 39 people in the state have died of lightning in the last five days, prompting the state government to issue new guidelines for how people can protect themselves during a thunderstorm. Lightning strikes are common during India’s monsoon season, which runs from June to September. Experts say climate change and global warming have increased the frequency of lightning.
With the bravado and timing that the Cardinals have come to expect from one of the best to ever play the game, Albert Pujols made history – and sparked the present.
The Giants got an off night from Carlos Rodón Friday against the Diamondbacks and blew an early lead but reclaimed it for good in the top of the ninth to pull out a win, 6-5, running their streak to five in a row and pulling them closer to .500 than they have been since the first week of thi…
J.D. Davis had the go-ahead RBI double in the ninth, Shelby Miller pitched 2 2/3 innings of scoreless relief in his season debut and the San Francisco Giants beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-5. The Giants rallied with two outs in the ninth off reliever Caleb Smith, who gave up the unearned run. Mike Yastrzemski started with a line drive single and then Evan Longoria reached on a fielder’s choice after Arizona third baseman Sergio Alcantara made a bad throw to second that bounced and ended up in the outfield. Davis followed with a double down the left field line. The Diamondbacks fell to 70-82, which guarantees a losing season for the third straight year.
