RHP Bartolo Colon will look to achieve a neat bit of history Wednesday night, when he takes the mound for the Mets in the middle game of a three-game series against Arizona at Citi Field. The Diamondbacks are the only team Colon has never beaten in his career, which began in 1997, the year before the Diamondbacks played their first game. He is looking to become the 16th pitcher to beat all 30 major league teams. Colon earned the win in his most recent start last Thursday, when he gave up one run on six hits and no walks while striking out one over 6 2/3 innings as the Mets beat the New York Yankees 4-1. He is 0-1 with a 4.26 ERA in two career starts against the Diamondbacks.

RHP Bartolo Colon improved to 10-6 and reached double-digit wins for the 13th time Thursday as he allowed one run and six hits in 6 2/3 innings at Yankee Stadium. Manager Terry Collins said Colon's stuff was the best it has been all season, as the veteran's fastball reached 91 mph on occasion even though Colon was pitching for the third time in nine days. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Colon became the first pitcher to get a win in the Subway Series with the Yankees and the Mets.

RHP Bartolo Colon will make a start on three days rest for the first time in a decade when he takes the mound for the Metson Saturday night in the third game of a four-game series against the Colorado Rockies at Citi Field. Colon earned the win in his most recent startTuesday, when he allowed one run on three hits and no walks while striking out eight over seven innings as the Mets beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 3-1, in the second game of a doubleheader. The twinbill forced the Mets to adjust their rotation, but manager Terry Collins said the club preferred to bring the 43-year-old Colon back on short rest rather than assign a spot start to a reliever or someone at Triple-A Las Vegas. Colon last started on three days rest on Sept. 29, 2005, when he allowed one run over five innings and earned the win for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. In four career starts against the Rockies, Colon is 2-1 with a 9.45 ERA the highest ERA he has recorded against any opponent.

It was his shortest road start since Aug. 21, 2015, in Colorado. "I think mentally I wasn't all there and I paid the consequences," Colon said. "In New York (in his last start against Chicago), I pitched a little better. Today they took advantage of my mistakes."

RHP Bartolo Colon (8-4, 3.11 ERA) makes his team-high 19th start in Wednesday's series finale and looks for his third career victory against the Cubs.

Colon, who retired the first 13 hitters he faced, surrendered all three runs in the sixth, on an RBI triple by Peter Bourjos, an infield bouncer by Maikel Franco and a bloop single by Cody Asche. "He's not the guy I wanted to see, coming out of the break, because he's such a good pitcher," Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. "He knows what he's doing, and he just kind of stifled us for a while there." Colon needed just 35 pitches to negotiate the first four innings, and in all fired 52 strikes among his 78 offerings. "Everything worked out," he said. "Around the fifth or sixth inning, I just got a little tired."
