Bartolo Colon made a rehab start today for the Salt Lake Bees in their playoff opener against the Sacramento River Cats (Oakland A's).Colon allowed three runs (all earned) in 6 innings. He gave up 5 hits and walked none with two of the hits being home runs by Daric Barton.
When Bart left the game, the Bees were leading 6-3 and he was in line for the win. However the Bees bullpen tandem of Alex Serrano and Greg Jones let Bart down. The River Cats scored two in the 8th and one in the 9th to tie the game at six. The tying run was driven in by former Angel Lou Merloni.
The River Cats then scored two more runs in the top of the 10th. At this point, you have to wonder, do they have the Rally Monkey in Salt Lake? It looks that way.
Here's how the bottom of the 10th went for Salt Lake: Tommy Murphy singles, Mike Eylward singles, Terry Evans singles (Murphy Scores), Nick Gorneault singles loading the bases, Brandon Wood singles in two for the victory. Now that's efficiency, 5 batters, 5 singles and 3 runs.
Nick Gorneault had a team high three hits for the Bees. Brandon Wood, Matt Brown and Greg Porter each had two rbi in the win.
The second game in the best-of-5 series is Thursday night in Salt Lake City.
