Even Molina apologists can't really explain this one.
The Small Bears spent five years of deliberate failure to build a powerful club that won a World Series and reached postseason play five times in six years. But the bar is higher for the Cubs now.
Chris Stratton, a reliever acquired at trade deadline, pitched a pivotal 2⅔ scoreless innings in the 6-4 victory against D-Backs. Says Nolan Arenado: "We can win any game."
From 13 rows up at Hammons Field, Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak saw "dynamic" stuff Sunday from rehabbing starter Jack Flaherty.
In the sixth inning of Saturday's 16-7 victory, Arenado made a barehanded play on a high-bounding grounder that few could believe, fewer would even try.
Arenado's two-run single in the seventh leads to 6-4 win but only after right-handers Stratton and Woodford give the Cardinals solid relief after Quintana's short start.
