Poojalsol scored just four home runs this season for the first time since posting the 60th multi-HR game of his career and since May 11 last year in Baltimore. He completed three hits at night.
After hitting the May mark last Sunday in Colorado, he passed the Hall of Fame on the left with a solo drive. Pooja sent 1-2 fastb pennies from Wes Benjamin to the Rangers’ bullpen. Pujolo gestured to the dugout and pumped the fist as the third base approached.
After the Rangers rallied to reach within 3-2, Poojolsos led Demarcus Evans to the lead in the Angels’ bullpen with 6262૨ at number seven.
Pujol has gone deep 330 times in his career and has come up with 362 bases empty.
With one more season left on his contract with the Angels later this year, Pujol has 108 home runs at Angel Stadium, just three behind the 111 he hit at the new Busch Stadium, which opened in 2006.
Benjamin was the polo olso in different pots in the red૨7 of his career, and Evans, entering the MLB, became 8૨8th after two innings. Only bonds have gone against more (449).
