    Cardinals outfielders Matt Holliday and Lance Berkman have been atop the National League batting leaders for a while, and now catcher Yadier Molina has joined them at .333.

    Hitting the ball to all fields, particularly right field, as well as he ever has in his eight-season career, Molina is 15 for 25 since last Sunday, including doubling, tripling and singling twice in a 9-8, 10-inning win over Kansas City on Sunday.

    "Yadi's a middle to right-center kind of hitter," hitting coach Mark McGwire said. "And if he accidentally turns on a ball and pulls it, that's perfect.

    "He's pretty good. And, on top of it, catching and getting beat up by all the one-hop pitches, it's just amazing what he's doing, playing day in and day out.

    "It's pretty awesome."
