He got him.

Here is a recap (and video) of the game:

After reading the thread title, I thought I'd be laughing, but that's one hell of a play.

o

Colon pitched 7.67 innings of 1-run ball against the Orioles on Tuesday night to notch his 5th W of the season.

The lone score that Colon ceded was a solo home run to Manny Machado in the 8th inning, shortly before he departed the game.

For the season, Colon is 5-1 with a 2.90 ERA, and an 0.942 WHIP.

Colon became the Major League's 1st 6-game winner today.
