Pujols, Cardinals open two-game series vs. Pirates

Apr 16, 2007 - 2:04 PM Pittsburgh (4-6) at St Louis (6-5) 8:10 pm EDT

ST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- Albert Pujols has finally woke up.

After a slow start to the season, Pujols delivered two homers and drove in five runs as the Cardinals coasted to a 10-2 triumph over Milwaukee on Sunday.

Pujols and the Cardinals will host the Pittsburgh Pirates in the opener of a two-game series on Monday.

The Cardinals swept a three-game series at Pittsburgh last week, although Pujols was just 2-for-12 in those games.

Anthony Reyes (0-1, 5.40 ERA) takes the hill for the Cardinals. In his last start on April 7, Reyes allowed three runs and five hits in five innings of a 5-1 loss at Houston.

The righthander struck out nine in 6 1/3 shutout innings to help St. Louis to a 6-3 victory over Pittsburgh last September 3.

Pittsburgh's Ian Snell (0-1, 2.08) is also seeking his first win of the season. The righthander gave up only one run in seven frames of a 3-0 loss to St. Louis last week.
