Colon impressive in first start with Red Sox

Bartolo Colon apparently does have something left in the tank after all. In his first start for the Boston Red Sox on Thursday, Colon was hitting 94 MPH on his fastball, 84-88 on the slider and 81 on his changeup.

He did only go 2 innings in a 3-3 tie against the Rays, but it was a promising 2 innings. Colon could factor more into the Red Sox plans than they had previously thought, especially with Schilling out until at least the All Star Break and Josh Beckett suffering from back spasms.
