Twins' Bartolo Colon whiffs eight in six innings Thursday night
Minnesota Twins pitcher Bartolo Colon tallied eight strikeouts and allowed three earned runs in six innings on Thursday against the Chicago White Sox.
Colon didn't factor in to the Twins' 5-4 win Thursday night, but he did rack up a season-high in strikeouts while using his fastball on 90.2% of pitches. The 44-year-old allowed 10 hits but stranded 70% of base-runners while forcing nine groundouts to six flyouts.
In 9 games, Colon is 4-2 with 4 quality starts and a 5.08 FIP in his time since coming over to Minnesota. He's projected for a 1-2 record, 1.41 WHIP and 5.27 ERA in 25-plus innings the rest of the year.
