Pujols gets 100 RBIs eighth straight year
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Albert Pujols became the third player in major league history to drive in 100 runs in each of his first eight seasons when he hit an RBI double in the sixth inning of the Cardinals' game against the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night.

The only other players to accomplish the feat were Al Simmons, who did it his first 11 seasons, and Ted Williams, who did it in his first eight. Pujols also extended his major league-record streak of 30 homers and 100 RBIs in a season to start a career.

He has nine RBIs in his last five games and was batting .362, in contention with the Braves' Chipper Jones for a second batting title.
