Albert Pujols’ second-inning homer against the electric Sonny Gray, a key blow in a 9-4 win over the A’s, gave him 555 career home runs, tying him with countryman Manny Ramirez for 14th on the all-time list. It gave him 35 this year, joining only three others — Alex Rodriguez, Mike Schmidt and Willie Mays — to reach 35-plus homers 10 times within their first 15 seasons. And it put him on pace for 42, a number he hasn’t reached since 2010.
