ST. LOUIS — There was no dispute the St. Louis Cardinals shouldn’t have won on Yadier Molina’s double.
But they did — because by the time Cincinnati figured out what happened, it was too late.
A game with playoff implications turned on a missed call Thursday night when Molina got credit for a winning double with two outs in the ninth inning to beat the Reds 4-3.
“I just kept my head down and kept running,” Molina said. “I didn’t really hear or see anything.”
The Cardinals are one game behind the Giants for the second NL wild-card spot and two games behind the Mets, who have the top spot.
