With 6,143 total bases, Pujols also rose to second place on the all-time list

Stan Musial, a Cardinals great, was passed (6,134), and he now only trails Hank Aaron (6,856)

Lars Nootbaar had five hits, two walks, and a two-run triple and RBI single to help the Cardinals win their sixth straight game and 17th in 21

As a result of a mistake by Arizona, Nootbaar scored on the triple
