St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina is an eight-time Gold Glove winner for a reason, and his quick reflexes have something to do with it.
The veteran backstop put his reaction time to the test on Thursday against the Washington Nationals when he saved a potential infield blunder from happening on a Stephen Drew pop-up.
Good thing for the Cardinals Molina was there to save the day, because Danny Espinosa hit a home run on the very next pitch.
