Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina made their 325th career start together for the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night, setting a Major League record for the most as a battery.

The pair eclipsed the regular-season mark of 324 by the Detroit Tigers pair of Mickey Lolich and Bill Freehan from 1963-1975.

"It's probably cooler for me than Yadi," Wainwright said. "He has so many cool things. Next to the Roberto Clemente award, this is probably the coolest thing of my career."

Towels with the No. 325 were given out to fans as they entered the ballpark on Wednesday.

Molina, 40, has indicated he will retire at the end of this season. Wainwright, 41, has yet to make a decision on his future.
