    Arizona right-hander Jason Marquis broke his right shinbone after getting hit by a line drive Sunday.

    At first he stayed in the game after he was hit by a ball off the bat of the Mets' Angel Pagan in the top of the third inning.

    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."

    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."
