Pujols hits 25th HR, Angels finish sweep of Rangers 12-6 (Yahoo Sports)
Albert Pujols probably didn’t need to pad his AL home run lead to have a chance to join teammate Mike Trout in the starting lineup for the All-Star game. Pujols went deep for the 25th time, Kole Calhoun homered and drove in four runs and the Los Angeles Angels finished a dominant three-game sweep of the Texas Rangers with a 12-6 victory Sunday night. ”I don’t control that,” said Pujols, who is a strong candidate to replace the injured Miguel Cabrera of Detroit at first base in what would be his 10th trip to the All-Star game.
