Pujols passes Ruth on RBI list, but Mariners beat Angels 6-5

Albert Pujols was humbled after he caught and passed Babe Ruth for fifth place on baseball's career RBI chart.

Yet even the Los Angeles Angels slugger's 636th homer was no match for the Seattle Mariners' latest power display.

Pujols passed Ruth with an early RBI double and a late solo homer, but the Mariners added four more homers to their major league-leading total in a 6-5 victory over the Angels on Saturday night.

Pujols tied Ruth when he drove in Andrelton Simmons in the third inning, and passed the Babe by hitting the third homer of his 19th big league season in the ninth. Pujols has 1,993 RBIs, surpassing Ruth's total from the portion of his career after RBIs became an official statistic in 1920.

Pujols said "It's pretty special. You're talking about — if not the best, then one of the best — hitters to ever play this game. ... It would have been even sweeter if we would have come out with a win, but unfortunately it didn't happen."
