ST. LOUIS -- With the Cardinals having just squandered a late lead, Yadier Molina delivered a walk-off RBI double to lift St. Louis to a 4-3 victory over the Reds at Busch Stadium on Thursday.

The win put pressure on the Giants, who were playing the Rockies in a late game on Thursday, as it moved St. Louis to within a half-game of the second National League Wild Card spot. The Wild Card-leading Mets, idle on Thursday, sit two games ahead of the Cardinals with three days remaining in the regular season.
