(St. Louis) Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright and receiver Yadier Molina formed a pair of 325and game on Wednesday, setting a major league record for games alongside such duties.
The club duo from St. Louis broke the 324 regular season mark that Mickey Lolich and Bill Freehan formed with the Detroit Tigers from 1963 to 1975.
Wainwright and Molina received a standing ovation from the crowd at Busch Stadium as they headed to the dugout before a game against the Milwaukee Brewers.
“A lot has happened in that period and that’s why I think this record is so good,” said Cardinals coach Oliver Marmol. I don’t think another duo will come close. »

Molina stood out in a 4-1 victory for his team: he hit a single run, 1-1 tiebreaker, in addition to immobilizing a runner who was trying to steal, at second base.
Towels with the number 325 were handed out to fans when they arrived at the stadium.
Wainwright’s first kick was quick to Christian Yelich.
Highlights of Wainwright and Molina’s careers were shown on the giant screen after the first round.
Wainwright and Molina first teamed up on April 6, 2007, in Houston. Wainwright posted a 4-2 win, the first of his 213 wins with Molina at receiver.
At 40, Molina has already hinted that he will retire at the end of the season.
Wainwright, who is 41 years old, has yet to make a decision on the matter.
The closest pair is with the Cubs: Kyle Hendricks and Willson Contreras played 105 games together.
Only six active players were already in the big leagues as of April 6, 2007 – Albert Pujols, Nelson Cruz, Miguel Cabrera, Zack Greinke, Rich Hill and Justin Verlander.
Wainwright and Molina are great friends off the court. Wainwright introduced Molina to NHL hockey. They participated in several games together in 2019 as St. Louis Blues were on their way to winning the Stanley Cup.
Last November, Wainwright and his family celebrated American Thanksgiving at the Molina residence in Puerto Rico.
