Molina went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs in a win over the Royals on Saturday. Molina's season line is now up to .290/.335/.481 following his third straight two-hit effort, which marked his sixth multi-hit tally overall in August. The ageless backstop has been putting particularly good wood on the ball over the last three contests, a stretch during which he's racked up four doubles and left the yard on one occasion.

Molina went 2-for-3 with two doubles and two runs in a win over the Royals on Friday. It was a second straight two-hit effort for the backstop, who's gone for multiple hits on five occasions over his first nine August contests. Molina is in the midst of a particularly impressive two-game stretch, as he'd gone 2-for-4 with a double, home run and three RBI in the series finale against the Marlins on Wednesday as well.

Molina went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Marlins. The veteran catcher hadn't homered since July 25 but still has 15 long balls on the year to go along with his .285/.329/.472 slash line. If he avoids further injuries, Molina still has a chance to reach or top the career-high 22 home runs he hit in 2012.

Molina went 3-for-5 with an RBI single, a walk, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Pirates on Saturday. The ageless backstop did a bit of everything Saturday, turning in his second three-hit effort of the first four games of August in the process. Molina was already coming off a hot July (.350/.357/.472 line over 98 plate appearances), and his equally strong start to the new month has improved his season line to a rock-solid .287/.329/.470 with 27 extra-base hits (13 doubles, 14 home runs) and 48 RBI.

Molina went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Rockies. The backstop provided some much-needed insurance late, doubling in a pair in the eighth to give the Cardinals a three-run cushion. Molina hit .315 in July and has now cranked out three three-hit games over his last seven starts. He's showing no signs of slowing down offensively at 36 years old, slashing .289/.331/.482 to go along with 14 homers and 47 RBI.
