The St. Louis Cardinals came in to today's game at Milwaukee carrying 13 pitchers. And when shortstop Cesar Izturis left with an arm injury after getting hit by a pitch from Eric Gagne in the ninth, Albert Pujols was pressed into duty at second base.
The photo from here shows Pujols trying to make a play on Gabe Gross stealing second in the 12th inning. Gross was safe and he went on to score the winning run as the Brewers prevailed 9-8.
The key to the Brewers win: carrying 14 pitchers on staff.
