Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols was shaken up on a play in the fifth inning on Sunday night. St. Louis advanced to the World Series after beating Milwaukee 12-6 in Game 6 of the NLCS. Pujols fielded a grounder and made a lunging tag of Milwaukee's Ryan Braun, who tried to beat Pujols to the bag by diving into it headfirst. After making the tag, Pujols rolled on the ground in pain. He did not immediately get back up, though he remained in the game. "I know Albert is no drama king, so when he goes down, you know something is hurting, and you fear the worst," manager Tony La Russa said. Pujols had been spiked on his right forearm by Braun. Cardinals reliever Marc Rzepczynski, who was hustling to cover first, stepped on Pujols' right knee while trying to avoid a collision. "It didn't feel too good," Pujols said. "But as long as I can walk, I'm going to stay in the game."
