Mets shut out 9-0 as Colon is hit hard again
Bartolo Colon struggled for the second straight game as the Mets dropped the third game of the four-game series, by a score of 9-0.
Game Recap:
The St. Louis Cardinals jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead in the first inning thanks to a ground-rule double off the bat of Jhonny Peralta.
It was 1-0 entering the third when Colon came up to bat. He hit a slow dribbler down the third base line that Yadier Molina bobbled, allowing the soon-to-be 42-year-old to reach base. Curtis Granderson and Lucas Duda followed up to get the bases loaded.
However, Eric Campbell struck out, Michael Cuddyer lined out to center, and Daniel Murphy grounded weakly to third base, stranding all three runners on base.
