The New York Mets stopped a two-game skid against the Miami Marlins on Sunday, largely due to Bartolo Colon, who donned his cape and saved the day with an RBI double.
The pitcher punched a David Phelps hurl over the shallow-playing Marlins outfield in the second inning, scoring Anthony Recker from second and giving the Mets a 2-1 lead.
Colon, chastened as ever, unselfishly stopped at second despite the makings of a possible Bartriple (a yet-to-occur phenomenon). Even better, his hit was the difference-maker in a game that ended in a 4-3 win for New York.
