Pujols honored at Fenway as Cards win 11-2 over Red Sox
BOSTON (AP) — Nolan Arenado hit a homer in two runs over the Green Monster in the first inning and the St. Louis Cardinals broke it up with a sixth run in six in an 11-2 win over the Boston Red Sox.
Nolan Gorman and Tyler O’Neill both had a solo shot for the Cardinals, who were recovering after losing the opener of the three-game streak.
Paul Goldschmidt and Tommy Edman each had a two-run single during the big inning. The Red Sox lost for the fourth time in 16 games.
Red Sox Hall of Famer David Ortiz greeted Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols before the game, while many Red Sox fans applauded Pujols in a late-game at-bat.
The St. Louis Cardinals also clinched their first win at Fenway Park since Game 2 of the 2013 World Series.
