Mets Morning News: Colon allows a run, Warthen appears okay after heart scare

Meet the Mets

Bartolo Colon had his scoreless innings streak snapped at 31 in Atlanta last night, but the Mets prevailed anyway thanks in part to an RBI single by the man himself. Kevin Plawecki and Juan Uribe pitched in with three RBI a piece to help New York defeat the Braves 7-2.
