Preliminary evaluations on Albert Pujols’ wrist revealed a sprain. Further tests will be conducted tomorrow. I'll let someone else hit you with the panic attack reaction. Let's see what the results bring..  Justin Verlander owns interleague play. In fact, Justin Verlander owns everybody. The most dominant pitcher in the game threw a complete
