Zack Greinke gets injured in bench clearing brawl.

Although Zack Greinke's innings are getting limited early this season due to a minor injury, He came out pitching well as he did in his first start this season. In a heated battle between Zack Greinke and Carlos Quentin where Quentin has hit 4 homeruns in 21 at-bats where he has also been hit twice, one of which he almost charged the mound. In the sixth inning it was Quentin himself at bat. They fought to a 3-2 count and Greinke was starting windup. Quentin being a batter who doesn't leave the box even if a ball was coming his way was plunked in the shoulder by a fastball. While Quentin was on his way to first Greinke had something to say, something Quentin didn't like. Quentin dropped his bat and was halfway to the mound when Greinke dropped his shoulder. The bench came roaring out and before long so did the bullpen. A big pileup was made as players and coaches tried to pull their players off before they got suspended. Greinke who got a 147 million dollar contract got the worst of it as he came out with a fractured/broken colarbone and will be out for 6-8 weeks. Still, if you have him on your fantasy team i would recommend putting him in your DL slot. Other ejection included Carlos Quentin, Matt Kemp, Jerry Hairston Jr. Suspensions/Fines are said to be handed out soon.
