Bartolo Colon Gets In On the Hit Parade Against the Marlins

After spending most of the season being ridiculed for their inept offense, the retooled New York Mets are hot as can be. They completed a three-game sweep of the Washington Nationals this past weekend, and are now railroading the Miami Marlins, leading 12-0 through seven innings.
Everyone on the team has a hit (sans Kelly Johnson), including master batsman Bartolo Colon, who took a weak Chris Reed offering up the middle for a textbook single:

The only problem with that play was the third base coach held up Johnson at third. Yes, I understand you don’t want to ruffle the feathers of the opposing team in a 12-0 game, but it’s a goddamn Bartolo RBI at stake! You take the beanball from the Marlins each time in that scenario.

Fun fact: That single was Bartolo’s sixth hit of the season, tying his career high from 2002!
