Braves' Bartolo Colon: Tosses two innings in spring opener

Colon threw two innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League opener against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on three hits while striking out one.

Analysis:

He ran into a spot of trouble in the second inning, after Toronto prospects Rowdy Tellez and Anthony Alford hit back-to-back doubles to begin the frame, but Colon got out of the jam without further damage. The 43-year-old is set to be an innings-eater for the Braves this season, and despite his advanced baseball age, there's no reason to think he can't make at least 30 starts for the fifth straight year.
