Morning Briefing: Mets chill in Cleveland after 'game we had to win'

NEW YORK -- The New York Mets can exhale during a day off in Cleveland after finally snapping a four-game losing streak.

When play resumes Friday, the Mets will face the Indians in an interleague series.

Bartolo Colon returns to his old stomping grounds to face right-hander Cody Anderson in the 7:10 p.m. ET series opener.

Colon originally was signed by the Indians back in 1993. He spent his first six major league seasons with that organization.

Colon will be making his second bid for career win No. 219, which would pull him even with Pedro Martinez for second on the all-time list among Dominican-born pitchers.
