Cardinals manager Mike Shildt loved watching Yadier Molina grind out a big at-bat in the eighth inning. With the bases loaded and two outs in a two-run game, Shildt got exactly what he wanted from Molina, a veteran star catcher who has helped St. Louis chase down plenty of playoff spots during his 15-year career.
