Matt Holliday had the moth removed from his right ear shortly after leaving Monday's game. Holliday looked to be experiencing a serious amount of discomfort when he made his exit from the playing field, but he should recover fine. The Cardinals' medical staff first tried to lure the moth out by taking Holliday into a dark room, then decided to simply pluck the bug out with a pair of tweezers. The slugger is likely to be in the St. Louis starting lineup Tuesday.
