The Royals might not get the chance to play the Cardinals often, but even they can figure out which weapons to avoid in the Cardinals lineup. The Royals walked Albert Pujols twice yesterday as they avoided the sweep with a 3-2 win. The 3 runs against Cards starter Joel Pineiro were an offensive explosion for the Royals, who had gone scoreless in 24 innings prior.
