Bartolo Colon goes seven innings and drives in first run in victory

The amazing Bartolo Colon did it again Friday night.

Oh, sure, Colon threw seven brilliant innings for his third victory of the season. And the Mets won their sixth in a row for the first time since April 2011 by beating the Marlins, 4-1.

But what most thrilled the crowd of 38,753 at Citi Field was Colon's second RBI of the season.

It came in the fifth with the Mets (8-3) trailing 1-0 against former Yankee David Phelps, who was throwing a no-hitter until Wilmer Flores singled with one out in the inning.

Flores' hit came after an Eric Campbell walk and before Anthony Recker walked to load the bases.
