What It Means:

Bartolo Colon is 42 years old, with 43 rapidly approaching on May 24, but that hasn't slowed him yet. On the mound, he struck out five against just one walk, and at the plate, he clocked a two-run bomb off Padres' starter James Shields with two outs in the second inning. The home run was not just his first of the season; it was the first of his career.

He will carry a hot bat and a 3.40 SIERA, 1.12 WHIP and 33 punch outs across 38 1/3 innings into his next start/batting showcase, a road date with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
