Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina have made history. The Cardinals starting pitcher and catcher started their 325th game together Wednesday, breaking the MLB record for most games started by a battery pairing. Wainwright and Molina passed former Tigers Mickey Lolich and Bill Freehan, who made 324 starts together between 1963 and 1975. The Cardinals pairing made their first start together in April of 2007.
The Cardinals celebrated Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina’s record-breaking night with a 4-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers at Busch Stadium. Wainwright earned his 11th win after holding the Brewers to one run in five innings, while Yadier Molina drove in a run with a single in the second. Nolan Arenado and Lars Nootbaar each homered in the victory, and Ryan Helsley picked up his 17th save. St. Louis increases their NL Central lead to eight games over Milwaukee with an 84-and-59 record. Miles Mikolas starts for St. Louis against the Reds tonight.
