ST. LOUIS (AP) — Yadier Molina left the game in the fourth inning with a bruised knee, and the St. Louis Cardinals extended a losing streak to four for the first time this year with a 5-2 defeat to the Cincinnati Reds.

The 38-year-old Molina, a nine-time All-Star catcher, and nine-time Gold Glove winner took a foul tip off the bat of Kyle Farmer off his left knee in the fourth inning.

Andrew Knizner pinch-hit in the bottom half for Molina, who is batting .277 with seven homers and 27 RBIs.
