Molina still ailing but Cardinals are fortunate to have Wieters

Molina went on the 10-day injured last on May 29 and came off on June 11. But he hasn’t been the same hitter since then and his hand has been swollen, although it looked better Saturday. Since his return, Molina, who had four homers and 33 runs batted in when he got hurt, has no homers and three RBIs and just two extra-base hits, both doubles.

Wieters had two hits in Friday’s 9-4 win in which every Cardinals starting position player hit safely and six of them scored a run or drove one run as the club amassed 14 hits and 27 total bases, one shy of their season high set against Atlanta in May.
