A LOOK AHEAD Gil Meche (5-8, 4.91) looks to help the Royals continue their interleague dominance on Friday against Joel Pineiro (2-3, 3.86) and the St. Louis Cardinals. Kyle Davies (3-0, 3.12) looks to rebound from his last outing, which lasted just 1 1/2 innings, as he will most likely face Mark Mulder (0-0, 0.00), who is slated make his long-awaited return to the rotation.

| Detroit, MI (MySportsbook) - The St. Louis Cardinals activated first baseman Albert Pujols from the 15-day disabled list before the team's 3-2, 10-inning loss to the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. The St. Louis slugger, who had been sidelined since June 11 with a strained left calf, finished 4-for-4 as the designated hitter and drove in the go-ahead run in the top of ninth before being lifted for a pinch runner. Pujols is now hitting .358 with 16 home runs and 43 RBI this season. The Cardinals opened a roster spot |

| (MySportsbook) - Kyle Lohse takes aim at his seventh straight winning start this evening, when his St. Louis Cardinals continue their three-game series with the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.

He extended his unbeaten streak to eight games Friday against Boston, when he allowed two runs (1 earned) and six hits in six innings. Over the course of hi |

Lohse eventually signed a one-year deal worth a reported $4.25 million in early March because his brilliant agent, Scott Boras, believed his client was worth about $10 million a season. Are you kidding me? What were you smoking, Mr. Boras? Talk about scaring off potential suito |
