Running wild: 9 SBs for Hamilton in 3 games

ST. LOUIS -- Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina seemingly didn't have a kryptonite during his first eight years in the Major Leagues, until Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton ran onto the scene in 2013. Hamilton is now 20-for-22 in stolen-base attempts against the seven-time All-Star and eight-time Gold Glove Award winner after stealing three more bases in a 7-4 victory over the Cardinals on Tuesday.

He has nine stolen bases over his last three games to bring his total to 48 for the season, and Hamilton is now ahead of Jonathan Villar by three for the Major League lead.
