Albert Pujols has fought back from his injury in 2013, to lead the Majors in HRs (8) – including 2 big bombs last night in Washington. His 2nd smash, was the 500th of his career, joining 25 other men who have accomplished the feat. The Angels squared their season record at 10 – 10, and are 7 – 4 away from Los Angeles. Pujols became the 3rd youngest MLB’ER to this feat – as only Alex Rodriguez and Ken Griffey JR. were younger.

In 2013, Cutch had a brilliant performance with an NL MVP Season, leaving his best production for the 2nd half of the year. Another Silver Slugger Award was won, and the 5 tool player established himself as a leader, leading the Bucs to their 1st playoff birth since 1992. This year, he has finally hit homers in back to back games in the past few days. eradicating a slow start to the campaign. The 27 Year Old Bucs OF now has 3 HRs and 12 RBI – to go along with his NL Leading 18 Walks – and .288/.414//500 3 Slash Line. His efforts haven’t stopped his team from starting the year at 9 – 12 heading into action today.
