MILWAUKEE — What began with all of the trace elements of a compelling, playoff-tinged game before veering into the absurd with a rain delay at a roofed ballpark, eventually brought the Cardinals back to where so many games go in this era.
The iconic catcher hit a home run to tie the game, a home run to break the tie, and then doubled as the Cardinals pulled away for a 6-3 victory against Milwaukee Tuesday night at Miller Park. The 10 total bases tied Molina’s career high as he also moved into the top 10 all-time for game’s caught with his 1,919th and surpassed Ted Simmons’ total for multi-homer gamers.
