The Mets have won four of the last five games started by Bartolo Colon and the veteran has seen his ERA drop 74 points in this span. In a time where good news has been hard to come by, Colon has been a bright spot recently for the club. The plan has been for Colon [...]
Met outfielder Travis Taijeron is 27 years old and currently playing for the Las Vegas 51s. So far for this season he’s hitting .314/.394/.587 which gives him a hefty .981 OPS.

He went six innings and gave up seven hits with four earned runs against the worst offense in baseball, though that offense was pretty aggressive early in counts against [...]
