Morning Briefing: Time for another Piazza party!
NEW YORK -- Six days after he officially was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, Mike Piazza will be honored at Citi Field.
The Mets will retire Piazza’s No. 31 in a pregame ceremony on Saturday. It will join retired numbers for Casey Stengel (No. 37), Gil Hodges (No. 14), Tom Seaver (No. 41) and Jackie Robinson (No. 42).
The Mets then will try to snap a three-game losing streak when they face the Colorado Rockies at 7:10 p.m. ET.
Bartolo Colon (9-5, 3.35 ERA) opposes left-hander Jorge De La Rosa (6-7, 5.70).
The 43-year-old Colon will be pitching with less than four days between starts for the first time since 2005.
