How long had it been since Molina's last triple? Too long to count
If you made a list right now of the players least likely to leg out a triple, Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina would be right at the top of the list, or maybe just below Billy Butler.
Well, as of Wednesday night, each player as one triple on the season. Molina's is of the stand-up variety and he got it in a clutch situation in the eighth inning off top-notch Chicago White Sox reliever David Robertson.
Molina's opposite field, three-run shot rallied the Cardinals from a 2-0 hole to a 3-2 victory, and gave Molina, according to MLB.com reporter Jennifer Langosch, his first triple in ... drum roll, please ... 2,071 at bats. Or since the 2011 season.
That it was Robinson on the mound had to only increase the unlikelihood that his three-bagger would come at that much-needed moment.
To Robertson's credit, he took to Twitter to give Molina his props.
