Kavan Markwood, 20, described his injuries as "broken everything" after he tumbled over the railing in right field while celebrating Andrew McCutchen's go-ahead double. “I’m all right,” he told TribLive.

In the first game at PNC Park after the accident, Pirates owner Bob Nutting acknowledged the fall in a statement read before the national anthem. He called it "one of the most difficult moments many of us have ever experienced" and thanked the medical staff and first responders who assisted Markwood.
