Brewers RHP Marcum leaves game with hip injury

Shaun Marcum has a strained left hip flexor but hopes to make his next scheduled start after leaving the Milwaukee Brewers game with a hip injury.

The right-hander threw 44 pitches in the first inning of the Brewers' 10-4 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Friday night. He was replaced at the start of the bottom of the second by Marco Estrada. It was announced late in the game that Marcum had a strained left hip flexor.

Manager Ron Roenicke said Marcum, 7-2 with a 2.85 ERA, told him the hip hurt. Marcum tried to stretch it after the top of the first. He left the game after allowing two runs and four hits, with one strikeout, one walk and a wild pitch. He also allowed a leadoff homer to Jacoby Ellsbury.
