Mike Puma: Bartolo Colon propels Mets to sixth consecutivevictory. “Colon’s seven strong innings, and terrific defense from Juan Lagares on a night he received his 2014 Gold Glove award, led the Mets to their sixth straight victory, 4-1, before 38,753 at Citi Field. The 41-year-old Colon added to his superb pitching with a sacrifice fly in the fifth that brought in the Mets’ first run. It gave Colon an RBI in consecutive games after going nearly a decade without one.”

Bartolo Colon (W,3-0) after allowing a homer in the fist to Giancarlo Stanton settled down to go 7 innings while driving in a run on a Sac Fly.  Mets took the lead in the 6th on a Michael Cuddyer single and Eric Campbell Sac Fly.  Daniel Murphey added an RBI double in the 8th. 

Braves beat the Blue Jays to keep pace with the 1st place Mets to stay 1/2 game behind the Amazin's.
