Molina's 1,980th hit ties Red, helps Cardinals catch Cleveland at 1-1

Yadier Molina’s seventh-inning single to right Saturday at Busch Stadium created two deadlocks

One is that his 1,980th career hit tied Molina with Hall of Famer Red Schoendienst for sixth place on the Cardinals’ career list. The other is that the hit, with Brad Miller running off first base on a full-count pitch, set up a Cardinals’ run as they finally drew even with the Cleveland Indians for the first time in the series.

Matt Carpenter’s single to right plated Miller and the Cardinals caught the Indians 1-1 after reliever James Karinchak had replaced dominating starter Carlos Carrasco.
