Reds' pitcher leaves after two innings

ST. LOUIS(AP) -- Cincinnati Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto injured his
left hip running out a grounder in the top of the third inning
Monday night and was removed from the game.

A team spokesman said Cueto had a tight hip flexor and would be
evaluated Tuesday.

Kip Wells began warming up soon after Cueto's groundout to start
the inning, and replaced him in the bottom half of a game tied
at 1. It was Wells' first appearance since being recalled from
Triple-A Louisville on July 31.

Cueto allowed a run in the first on Skip Schumaker's leadoff
double and a one-out sacrifice fly by Matt Holliday. He's 0-5
with a 9.49 ERA since his last win on July 1.
