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.
