* Chicago 3, at St. Louis 2: Kerry Wood got Albert Pujols to pop up with two men on for the final out. Pujols drove in his 100th run with a sixth-inning double, becoming only the third player in history to reach the milestone in his first eight seasons. Al Simmons did it his first 11 seasons, and Ted Williams did it his first eight.
