ST. LOUIS—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 on Saturday.

“It’s just not going our way at the moment,” Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said. “It'll turn. I appreciate the how guys are competing because sometimes you don’t get the end result, but it’s how you go about it. These guys are laying it all out there.”
