Molina went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI groundout in a win over the Rangers on Saturday. The veteran backstop continues rolling along in May, as he now has four multi-hit efforts during the month. Molina has boosted his season average 12 points to .274 over that span, and some timely hitting (.370/.404/.609 line over 52 plate appearances with men in scoring position this season) has him second on the team behind Marcell Ozuna with 31 RBI.

Molina went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 14-3 win over the Braves. Molina's homer was enough to end Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz's night. The homer was the catcher's fourth of the season to go with his .283 average and 30 RBI in 39 games. Molina's strong numbers and workload make him one of the most reliable catchers for fantasy purposes, even at 36 years old, although it's unlikely he matches the 20 long balls he swatted last season.

Molina went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI, scoring three times in a blowout victory over the Pirates on Thursday. Molina put the Cardinals on the board with a run-scoring double in the second inning and tacked on a second RBI with a single in the fourth. He leads all catchers in hits (39) and RBI (27) on the season and is tied with Buster Posey for the lead in doubles (11). He has shown no signs of slowing down in his 16th season in the league.

Molina went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday's 6-0 win over the Phillies. Molina's fourth-inning home run broke a scoreless tie and proved to be the only runs his pitching staff needed. He brought his average up to .278 with his first multi-hit performance since April 23. Molina is up to 25 RBI despite having just three homers.

Molina went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in a loss to the Cubs on Sunday. The veteran backstop gave the Cardinals their one brief hope in the contest, as his sixth-inning double plated Marcell Ozuna and Paul DeJong to slice a 3-0 deficit. Molina has hit safely in all four games he's started thus far in May, and he's quickly collected three RBI during that stretch after amassing an impressive 19 during April.
