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 games caught with his 1,919th and surpassed Ted Simmons’ total for multi-homer gamers. Molina finished the win with three RBIs and three runs scored, and the Cardinals had their sixth consecutive win, their 15th in their past 18 games.
The Cardinals’ lead, provided by Molina’s two-run homer before the rain delay in the seventh inning, teetered in the eighth.
