Forgettable Memorial Day in Big Apple

On a sunny, windy Memorial Day afternoon in the Big Apple, the Phillies lost a 6-3 decision to the host New York Mets. It was the Phils 4th loss in 6 games following the 6-game win streak that raised false hope among some in the fan base.
Bartolo Colon (7-3), the portly 42-year old pitching in his 18th MLB season, recorded his 7th victory, tied for the most in baseball to this point. He threw 94 pitches, 67 of those for strikes, allowing 6 hits and 2 walks across 6 innings in which he struck out 6 batters in a workmanlike effort.
For the home fans amusement, Colon even pitched in with a base hit, his 2nd of the year and the 14th of his big league career.
