ST. LOUIS -- There was no dispute the St. Louis Cardinals shouldnt have won on Yadier Molinas double.But they did -- because by the time Cincinnati figured out what happened, it was too late.A game with playoff implications turned on a missed call Thursday night when Molina got credit for a winning double with two outs in the ninth inning to beat the Reds 4-3.I just kept my head down and kept running, Molina said. I didnt really hear or see anything.The Cardinals are one game behind San Francisco for the second NL wild-card spot. Each team has three games left.Matt Carpenter drew a one-out walk from Blake Wood (6-5). With two outs, Molinas one-hop hit clearly bounced off a sign above the left-field wall and caromed back into play.Carpenter kept running and scored from first. It should have been a ground-rule double, putting Carpenter on third. Instead, the Cardinals celebrated.Reds manager Bryan Price ran after the umpires to argue. He said he was later told he had 10 seconds after Carpenter scored to appeal for a replay.Its a terrible rule, Price said. I mean thats ridiculous.The Cardinals hurried their on-field party and zipped to the clubhouse while the Reds milled around on the field waiting for something to happen.Crew chief and plate umpire Bill Miller said he felt he gave the Reds enough time to ask for a replay.In this situation, Bryan Price did not come up to the top step, Miller told a pool reporter. I looked into the Cincinnati dugout and Bryan Price made no eye contact with me whatsoever. And then after 30 seconds, he finally realized somebody must have told him what had happened and we were walking off the field.There is no disputing that the ball hit the sign, which is considered out of play and a ground rule double should have been called.Reds left fielder Adam Duvall said the ball definitely hit the sign.I saw it. I heard it. Theres a gap in between the sign and the fence. I wasnt sure if it was in play or not, he said.Duvall retrieved the ball and made a relay home.Im not blaming the umpires. Im blaming the system, Price said. You couldnt hear anything. And then all of a sudden, someone is screaming, `the ball hit the top of the back wall. Which would have made it a ground-rule double.Price and staff didnt get the message fast enough from their video review crew.Because of the crowd noise, we couldnt hear the phone ring, Price said. There was no siren or blinking light to let you know.Said Carpenter: The balls hit, I was running as hard as I can.It was a fun way to win a game, he said.Molina and Jedd Gyorko hit solo homers for the Cardinals.Seung Hwan Oh (6-3) wound up with the win after blowing his third save in 21 tries this season.Cincinnati scored single runs in the eighth and ninth. Pinch hitter Scott Schebler had a two-out, two-strike infield single to make it 3-all.Gyorko hit his team-high 28th homer off starter Dan Straily in the second. Molina hit his eighth homer in the fifth.That was about as good as it gets for me, Gyorko said. It was a good swing.Molina said the come-from-behind win should give his club plenty of momentum going into a final weekend series with the Pirates.At the end, we put together some good at-bats, Molina said.St. Louis rookie Alex Reyes, in his fifth major league start, gave up one run on seven hits in a 99-pitch outing. He struck out six and walked two.Reyes, who lowered his ERA to 1.57, also drove in the go-ahead run with a groundout.Cincinnati closed to within 3-2 in the eighth on a double by Joey Votto and an RBI single by Duvall.Votto, who had three hits, left the game after sustaining a cut to his chin while sliding into second base. He took seven stitches.The Reds have scored first in their last seven games.TRAINERS ROOMReds: INF Brandon Phillips was held out of the lineup for the second successive game with a sore left hand suffered on a swing Monday night.Cardinals: OF Brandon Moss was given the day off. He is mired in a 7-for-95 skid.UP NEXTReds: RHP Josh Smith (3-2, 4.77) will face the Chicago Cubs in the opener of a three-game series in Cincinnati on Friday. He will be making his second start of the season and 32nd. appearance.Cardinals: RHP Carlos Martinez (15-9, 3.15) will oppose Pittsburgh RHP Tyler Glasnow (0-1, 4.91) in the opener of a three-game set on Friday at Busch Stadium. Martinez is 3-5 with a 4.01 ERA lifetime against Pittsburgh. Glasnow will be making his fourth start of the season.

MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans, a franchise that has struggled in recent years, find themselves at a turning point at the very same moment the Cleveland Browns are hoping to find themselves.Both teams have new coaches coming off an offseason filled with change in the front office and on the roster. Yet the Titans (2-3) start a three-game homestand Sunday needing a victory for their first winning streak since the end of the 2013 season. The Browns (0-5) are trying to avoid their first six-game skid to open a season since losing the first seven in 1999 as an expansion team.The Titans insist they arent in position to believe theyre better than the Browns.I mean, weve won five games in the last two years, so I dont think were (at a) standpoint to look at a team and judge them by their records, cornerback Jason McCourty said.Titans coach Mike Mularkey, given the job permanently in January after taking over last November on an interim basis, has had one simple message coming off a 30-17 road win at Miami.Its not about home, two in a row, the fans, the Browns have beaten us twice, Mularkey said. Its about weve got to win this football game. Win this game.Browns coach Hue Jackson has been scraping together his roster, with injuries forcing him to start three different quarterbacks and play five overall, and 10 starters having missed time. Cleveland lost 33-13 to New England last week, and this is the Browns fourth road game of the season, with a visit to Cincinnati next.But the Browns have won five of the last seven against Tennessee.I wasnt part of that and this is a new team and a new year, Jackson said. I think well come in ready to play. Obviously, our guys are working hard. Were eager and hungry for the opportunity and grateful for the opportunity to come to Tennessee and play a game against a good football team.Here are some things to know about the Browns and Titans:MURRAY ON THE RUN: Tennessees DeMarco Murray looks like the running back who won the NFL Offensive Player of the Year in 2014. He ranks second in the NFL with 461 yards rushing and has at least 114 yards or more in two of the past three games. He leads the NFL with 33 first downs and has five TDs combined rushing and receiving.dddddddddddd. The Titans rank second in the NFL in rushing per game, averaging 148.6 yards, with Marcus Mariota coming off his best game running -- 60 yards in Miami.KESSLER BACK AT QB: The Browns will start rookie quarterback Cody Kessler for a fourth straight game, even though the third-round draft pick out of Southern California hurt his chest last week in the first quarter. He was replaced by Charlie Whitehurst, who injured his knee in the fourth quarter and was released two days later.SACK FLOODGATES: Titans linebacker Brian Orakpo already has six sacks this season for the best start of his career, and now some of his line mates believe theyve finally broken through themselves. Tackle Jurrell Casey and linebacker Derrick Morgan got their first sacks of the season last week in Miami and joined Orakpo in finishing with two each. Tennessee is now tied for eighth in the NFL with 12 sacks.BROWNS LEFT SIDE: Protecting the quarterback could be an issue for Cleveland. Starting left guard Joel Bitonio sprained a foot last week and is out indefinitely, while Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas did not practice Wednesday because of a knee issue. Thomas has started all 149 games in his career and has not missed an offensive snapped since being drafted in 2007. His consecutive snaps streak of 9,262 is the longest active streak in the league.HORTON CONNECTION: Browns defensive coordinator Ray Horton had that same job the past two seasons with Tennessee and left the Titans in January after interviewing for the head coaching job hours before Mularkey was hired . Mularkey made Dick LeBeau his defensive coordinator and also changed the offense. Mularkey says he knows how Horton approaches and calls a game. I dont know how much difference its going to make in the game, Mularkey said.---AP Sports Writer Tom Withers in Cleveland contributed to this report.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFLFollow Teresa M.
