If Jon Jay, pinch hitting for catcher Gerald Laird in the ninth inning Friday night, had come through with a hit that would have helped the Cardinals get to extra innings, Tony Cruz would have been the catcher for the 10th inning.
A mishap that Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said had never happened to him in 33 years of managing kept catcher Yadier Molina from a potential late-game pinch-hit appearance Friday night.
