Estoy lanzando mejor, pues no he cambiado ninguna cosa", dijo Colón, quien en sus tres salidas previas antes del Juego de Estrellas admitió 17 carreras limpias en 18 entradas. "Todo está en su bola rápida", dijo el receptor boricua José Molina. "Su colocación es mucho mejor". [Freddy Sandoval], quien fue seleccionado en la octava ronda del Draft de Agentes Libres de 2004 y firmado por el scout Tim Corcoran, juega en su primera campaña en Ligas Menores con Cedar Rapids, sucursal clase "A" de los Angels en la Liga Midwest.
Yankees 5 Athletics 0 OAKLAND, Calif. | Bartolo Colon pitched a four-hitter for his first shutout in nearly five years and Mark Teixeira homered in the first inning to help New York beat Oakland for the eighth straight time.
NEW YORK - Jeff Niemann gave up Derek Jeter's 2,998th hit but little else, B.J. Upton homered and drove in three runs, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the New York Yankees 5-1 on Thursday night to start strong in a long stretch of games against their biggest division rivals. Ben Zobrist homered, tripled and singled for Tampa Bay, which tagged Bartolo Colon early in one of the worst outings of his surprising comeback season. Evan Longoria had an RBI single and the Rays won the first of 11 straight games against New York and Boston, the two teams they trail in the AL East.
The cynics, doubters and haters are speaking with one voice these days about Bartolo Colon. It's a chorus: no man shaped like a watermelon should be throwing 96-mph on the black. After all, just look at Colon - try matching the waistline to the nuking of the A's lineup on Monday. Not only did Colon throw his first shutout since 2006, a whopping 86 of his 103 pitches were fastballs, a lopsided total even for a young, fit hurler.
Blue Jays 16, Yankees 7 TORONTO - Joe Girardi was left scratching his head at Bartolo Colon's latest bad start.
NEW YORK - All summer, even as Bartolo Colon's fastball was rocking the radar gun to the tune of 96-mph, Yankee officials were quietly working on a contingency plan. Rule One during Colon's unlikely comeback at age 38 was evident to all: enjoy it while it lasts. If the Yankees learned anything in their 6-5 loss to the A's Tuesday night, it's that Colon needs to be treated gently in September. That is, if they're still counting on the right-hander to be their No. 2 starter in the post-season.
BOSTON - When Joe Girardi took the ball out of Bartolo Colon's hand in the fifth inning Friday night, he had visions of perfection in his head - zeros across the board as the Yankees' bullpen snuffed out the American League's No. 1 offense. Who knew Girardi would be so prescient? The Bombers snuck by the Red Sox, 3-2 precisely because the manager made all the right moves, starting with his decision to summon Boone Logan to replace Colon to quell a two-out, bases-loaded rally. Not only did Logan strike out Adrian Gonzalez on three pitches, he kicked off a string of 4 1/3 scoreless innings.

NEW YORK - You couldn't blame the Yankees for feeling the cosmos are now in a full-blown conspiracy against them - so much that even back-to-back wins over the Indians couldn't deaden the pain of the latest setbacks. * Bartolo Colon had to leave Saturday's game with a strained hamstring, injuring himself trying to cover first base in the seventh inning. The results of an MRI weren't immediately known, although Yankee officials aren't hopeful of a fast recovery. Joe Girardi said, "Anytime a player has to leave the field you're concerned.
