Tomahawk Take Editor’s Note: After two solid outings from Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Bartolo Colon (May 15, May 20), came the game on Thursday afternoon. Colon gave up 10 hits, seven runs, three walks and had only one strikeout. The inconsistency of the 44-year-old this season has folks around calling for a move. Is there something not right with Colon? Does he have arm fatigue? What’s up? If so, maybe the Braves should DL him.
The Braves offense really couldn’t get anything going against the Pirates starting pitcher Ivan Nova. He almost went the distance pitching into the 9th inning, but couldn’t get the final two outs.
