Albert Pujols took a curtain call for his adoring fans at Busch Stadium after homering against the Cardinals, but Marcell Ozuna connected to lead Dakota Hudson and St. Louis over the Los Angeles Angels 4-2, Saturday. Pujols hit his 13th home run, a solo drive in the seventh inning. He got a standing ovation as he rounded the bases. The three-time NL MVP who helped the Cardinals win two World Series championships returned to the ballpark on Friday night for the first time since helping St. Louis take the 2011 title. Pujols signed with the Angels after that season, and they hadn’t played an interleague game at Busch until this weekend.

The Cardinals improved to 185-177 in interleague play, the best among NL teams.
