Yadier Molina launches bat, does throat slash after winning game for Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals are still alive in the playoffs, and they can thank Yadier Molina for extending their stay.

Molina came up clutch for the Cardinals with a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the eighth to tie Game 4 of the NLDS with the Atlanta Braves on Monday. Then in the 10th, he was up with runners on second and third and one out in a 4-4 game. Molina hit a deep fly ball to left that scored Kolten Wong to end the game in walk-off fashion.

As you could imagine, Molina and the Cardinals were fired up about the win. The All-Star catcher launched his bat after driving in the winning run and did multiple throat slashes in celebration:

Molina’s big hits helped tie the series at two. The deciding game will be on Wednesday in Atlanta, and you better believe Atlanta will have motivation after Yadi’s gestures.
