Timing of request key to Reds-Cards dispute

ST. LOUIS -- The Cardinals' 4-3 walk-off win over the Reds on Thursday -- a crucial victory as St. Louis works to chase San Francisco in the National League Wild Card standings -- was laced with controversy, as Yadier Molina's RBI double, by rule, should not have been a game-winning hit at all.

With Matt Carpenter at first and two out in the ninth, Molina drove a ball to deep left. It bounced on the field and then off a panel of signage above the left-field wall before caroming back to left fielder Adam Duvall.
