4 Yadier Molina, C

Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina snapped out of a mini-slump Wednesday against the Padres, going 4 for 5 in a 5-3 win.

Molina hit four singles to left field, one of which accounted for an RBI. He raised his batting average 14 points, to .333, after going 1 for 11 in his previous three games.

Molina is batting .360 in May with six RBI, but he has no home runs in 20 games. 

After going 0 for 5 the night before, Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina was not in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Mets. He is batting .370 with three RBI and a .457 slugging percentage in May.

It was just the second game the 30-year-old did not start behind the plate for St. Louis this season.

"We knew it was going to happen one of these days on this homestand," manager Mike Matheny told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "As it heats up, the heat beats on you behind the plate. We'll be keeping a close eye on him, but he's really felt good.

"Yesterday was one of the first days where it didn't look like everything was on, timing wise, as far as his swing goes, and that was it more than anything. Physically, he feels good, just trying to get a day to get himself back into a good rhythm."
