Bartolo Colon held a Marlins split-squad to two runs in 6 2/3 innings in the Mets' 10-2 win Saturday. Colon also had a hit today. The portly 40-year-old hasn't had one in a regular-season game since 2005, and he's just 10-for-96 with 56 strikeouts lifetime. The Mets could care less if he makes outs at the same rate this year; they just don't want him to get hurt swinging or running the bases.
