Yadier Molina hits 3-run homer as St. Louis Cardinals beat Chicago Cubs 10-6
CHICAGO — Yadier Molina hit a three-run homer in St. Louis' four-run ninth inning, and the Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs 10-6 on Sunday night in the majors' final game before the All-Star break. Allen Craig lined a tiebreaking RBI single into left field before Molina drove an 0-2 pitch from Kevin Gregg (2-2) over the wall in left for his seventh homer. Craig and Molina tuned up for Tuesday's game in New York with four hits apiece, helping St. Louis to a season-high 21 hits overall. Chicago went up 4-3 on Darwin Barney's three-run homer in the sixth and pinch hitter Cody Ransom had a tying two-run double in the eighth, but the Cubs' bullpen was unable to hold off the NL's highest-scoring team. Pete Kozma had two RBI singles as the Cardinals won for the seventh time in nine games to salvage a split of the four-game series. Edward Mujica (2-1) had his second blown save opportunity in 28 chances, but managed to get the win on the same day he was chosen to replace teammate Adam … [Read more...] about Yadier Molina hits 3-run homer as St. Louis Cardinals beat Chicago Cubs 10-6

Willson Contreras: Comment about ‘going to be better’ than Yadier Molina and Buster Posey ‘misinterpreted’
Willson Contreras clarified a comment he made about fellow catchers Yadier Molina and Buster Posey, saying that his “I’m going to be better than them" quote is being misinterpreted. The Cubs catcher led off a series of tweets late Wednesday acknowledging, “Many people have misinterpreted what was said during a recent interview, I see no wrong in taking the best players as personal goals and exceedance. What player doesn’t want to be the best at their position? I know I am lacking many years of experience and only time will tell.” Contreras told the Sun-Times at Cubs Convention Friday that he no longer studies tape of Molina, Posey and other elite catchers. “I used to watch a lot of those guys, but now I’m watching myself because I know that I’m going to be better than them. That’s my plan. That’s my [mindset].” Then in an ask-me-anything session on Twitter on Tuesday, Contreras was asked whom he looked up to more, Molina … [Read more...] about Willson Contreras: Comment about ‘going to be better’ than Yadier Molina and Buster Posey ‘misinterpreted’
Yadier Molina plans to retire at the end of his three-year extension
Repeating a stance that he took into contract negotiations a year ago, Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina said he has three more years on his contract and three more years of playing. “Three more years, and that’s it,” Molina said. The Cardinals catcher attended Day 3 of the team’s Winter Warm-up and after signing autographs for two hours he spent some time with the media and talked about returning to Puerto Rico, visiting Venezuela, having Marcell Ozuna in the lineup, getting more from Brett Cecil and Carlos Martinez, and counting on Adam Wainwright. He was also asked, after managing a youth team for Puerto Rico in the World Cup this year, if he wanted to be a manager after his playing career was over. That’s when he brought up the plan to leave the game after his current contract ends. Molina starts a three-year, $60-million deal this season. He agreed to the extension this past spring, and he said at the time that it would be the last contract he signed. … [Read more...] about Yadier Molina plans to retire at the end of his three-year extension
