Pujols homers gives SanFran NL West crown
October 2, 2000

LOS ANGELES — The National League West divisional race couldn't be settled in 162 games, so it wasn't until Albert Pujols and The San Francisco Giants took on the Dodgers in a one-game playoff that the west was won.

Pujols went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs of Dodgers starting pitcher Sterling Hitchcock while Barry Zito held Los Angeles batters to two runs on six hits and one walk, striking out five, over seven innings of work.

Zito also contributed offensively, going 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored. Giants shortstop Alex Gonzalez also had two hits for San Francisco.
