Colon (6-11) tossed 6.2 innings of two-run ball while taking the loss Tuesday against the Rays, allowing five hits with one walk and five strikeotus.
Colon, who allowed a solo home run and an RBI double to Lucas Duda, otherwise contained the opposing offense for his third consecutive quality start. He threw 72 percent of his pitches for strikes and induced nine groundball outs, but a gem from Jake Odorizzi on the other end resigned him to his 11th loss of the year. Colon's 6.06 ERA for the season remains unsightly, but he has actually posted a respectable mark of 3.94 since joining Minnesota. He will look to continue his recent success Sunday against the Royals.
