New York Mets vs. Arizona Diamondbacks - Recap - August 14, 2011 - ESPN
"PHOENIX -- Jason Marquis took a stinging line drive off his shin and stayed in the game, trying to tough it out.
One inning later, the Arizona starter tumbled to the ground while throwing a pitch and had to come out after all.
After Justin Upton homered to help the Diamondbacks beat the New York Mets 5-3 Sunday, manager Kirk Gibson said Marquis would be out for four to six weeks.
"I was put on a good position coming over here," said Marquis, acquired in a July 30 trade from Washington. "I finally was getting the results I had wanted to, so to finish on this note. Hopefully it's not the end."
Angel Pagan's line drive went off Marquis' right shin with two outs in the third. An inning later, Marquis hit Josh Thole with a pitch and dropped to the ground after his delivery, clutching his right shin.
"I thought it was just tightness from a bruise," Marquis said. "The pain was enough I could deal with to stay out there. I just felt something pop and (team physician Dr. Michael Lee) said it completed the break."
