Game Blog: Molina sits for second straight day

Molina out for second consecutive day

After being briefly listed in the Cardinals' starting lineup Saturday morning, catcher Yadier Molina was scratched for the second game in a row due to lower back stiffness.

Backup catcher Eric Fryer will replace Molina again and bat eighth.

The Cardinals are 6-2 in games in which Fryer has started this season. Overall, the lineup appears very similar to yesterday's, with the only difference being a swap of Aledmys Diaz and Tommy Pham in the fifth and sixth spots. Diaz hit the go-ahead home run last night, his first homer since May 1.
