ST. LOUIS (AP) — Albert Pujols and rookie Nolan Gorman hit solo home runs and the St. Louis Cardinals ended Los Angeles’ seven-game winning streak, beating the Dodgers 7-6. The Cardinals have won three straight. The teams squared off for the first time this season. Their last matchup came in last season’s NL wild-card game when Chris Turner hit a two-run, walk-off homer off Alex Reyes for a 3-1 victory. Pujols, MLB’s oldest player at 42 years old, is 11 home runs behind Alex Rodriquez, who has 696 career homers.
