Bartolo Colon, the oldest pitcher in the majors at 44, shows the kids how it’s done in a nationally televized Sunday night game pitting the Rangers against the Astros. Colon tosses 7 perfect innings against the defending World Champions before allowing a walk to Carlos Correa to lead off the bottom of the 8th, followed by a double by Josh Reddick. Correa scores on a sacrifice fly by Yuli Gurriel and Colon leaves after 7 2/3 innings. His opponent on the mound, Justin Verlander, is no slouch either as he gives up just one hit – a solo homer by Robinson Chirinos – in eight innings. The Rangers win the game, 3 – 1, with 2 runs in the 10th, both scoring on a double by Chirinos.
