Matt Holliday and Albert Pujols supplied the pop that kept the St. Louis Cardinals charging ahead. Holliday hit a two-run homer off Trevor Hoffman in the top of the ninth and Cardinals rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night. Hoffman, trying to protect a 3-2 lead, walked Pujols with one out before serving up a 2-1 pitch that Holliday drove over the wall in dead center. "I've had some good at-bats against him," Holliday said after the Cardinals won for the sixth time in their last seven games at Miller Park, outscoring the Brewers 32-12 over that span.
