On Wednesday night, August 9, 2017, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Kansas City Royals by a score of 8 to 5. The Cardinals completed their rally in large part due to a dramatic grand slam hit by Yadier Molina in the sixth inning. This memorable hit came just one pitch after a cat had momentarily disrupted the game by running onto the field.
