The line drive off the bat of the Seatle Mariners' Jean Segura was estimated at 101 mph. As much as Texas Rangers starter Bartolo Colon tried to get his glove up and shift his body, there was no way he could avoid being struck. After Colon picked up the loose ball and threw Segura out at first base, he laughed as the Rangers staff rushed to check on him. "The important thing is we won the game and I was able to get the out," Colon said through an interpreter. "He got me on the side. It was not in the middle. And I have a big belly, so I can [handle] it." All kidding aside, Colon put together arguably his best performance of the season Wednesday, allowing four hits in 7⅔ shutout innings and helping the Rangers get a 5-1 win over the Mariners. On the cusp of his 45th birthday, Colon (2-1) was excellent in spotting his fastball and using his breaking pitches to keep Seattle off balance, one night after the Mariners scored nine runs. read more http://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=380516112
