What worked for Bartolo Colon in Japan got solved by the Seattle Mariners when they met again in Oakland. So, like the savvy veteran he is, Colon threw Seattle a curve Friday night.

Relying more on off-speed pitches early before turning to his fastball, Colon allowed three hits in seven innings, and the Oakland Athletics ruined Seattle's home opener with a 4-0 win.
