Cubs' Gorzelanny leaves after getting hit by ball

DENVER(AP) -- Chicago Cubs starter Tom Gorzelanny left Monday
night's game against the Colorado Rockies with a right foot
contusion after getting hit by a hard grounder in the second
inning.

With one out and runners on first and third, Dexter Fowler hit a
hard grounder off Gorzelanny's right foot. Gorzelanny fielded
the ball near the third-base line but slipped as Yorvit
Torrealba scored to give the Rockies a 4-0 lead.

Gorzelanny threw a few warmup pitches after the play, but was
taken out of the game. He was replaced by Esmailin Caridad, who
made his major league debut after his contract was purchased
from Triple-A Iowa.
