{fshare id=1785}

The Texas Rangers could not stop the onslaught of Albert Pujols and the St. Louis Cardinals Saturday night in a 16-7 loss in Game 3 of the World Series.

Pujols joined Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson as the only players in Major League history with 3 home runs in a single World Series game.

The Texas bullpen gave up 11 runs, equal to their total in the entire playoffs.  Starter Matt Harrison could only last 3 2/3 innings, giving up 5 runs.

The Rangers were able to put some runs on the board also, generating 7 runs on 13 hits.  Michael Young and Nelson Cruz each hit home runs for Texas, and Adrian Beltre went 4-for-5 at the plate.

The Rangers now trail the Cardinals 2 games to 1 in the Series.  Game 4 is tonight at the Ballpark in Arlington.  First pitch is at 7:05pm.
