Mets' Bartolo Colon: Takes loss despite strong effort Sunday

Colon (6-4) gave up only one run on six hits and a walk over seven innings Sunday, striking out two, but still took the loss against the Braves.

Analysis:

The Mets mustered only four meager hits off Bud Norris over his seven innings, dooming Colon to a loss despite his best efforts. The big man now has a 2.86 ERA and nine quality starts in 16 outings on the season, but will have a tough test Friday at home against the Cubs.
