Mets outslugged as Colon's spotless streak ends
4/29/15: Michael Cuddyer cranks a two-run home run to deep left off Mat Latos to give the Mets an early lead in the 1st inningIt was more than enough to send Colon (4-1) to his first loss in his fifth start. The 41-year-old was bidding to join Roger Clemens as the only quadragenarian pitchers in the last 80 years to win each of their first five starts to a season.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Ageless wonder: At 41 years and 189 days, Suzuki was the only player on the field who could come close to matching Colon (41 years, 340 days) in age. He proved in the eighth inning that he also still has something to offer, launching a three-run homer off Torres to extend Miami's one-run lead to four.
