Pujols moves past Bonds for third on RBIs list

The Los Angeles Angels' Albert Pujols passed Barry Bonds for third place on the all-time RBIs list with a two-run double in the first inning Sunday.

The designated hitter doubled to left field against the Kansas City Royals, driving in Mike Trout and Brian Goodwin to give the Angels' an early lead. The Angels won the game 7-3.

Pujols did not speak with reporters after the game.

"He's had an unbelievable career,'' Angels manager Brad Ausmus said. "He continues to add on to it.''

Pujols has 1,997 RBIs and trails only Alex Rodriguez (2,086) and Hank Aaron (2,297) on the all-time list, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

RBIs became an official statistic in 1920.

The 39-year-old Pujols, playing in his 19th major league season in 2019, entered Sunday's game with a career .302 batting average and 637 home runs, sixth on the all-time list.
