HOUSTON (AP) — Bartolo
Colon carried a perfect
game into the eighth in-
ning and Robinson Chirinos
drove in all three runs for
the Texas Rangers during
their 3-1 victory over the
Houston Astros in 10 innings
Sunday night.
The 44-year-old Colon
turned back the clock and
dominated the defending
World Series champions for
seven innings, retiring his
first 21 batters in an enter-
taining pitchers' duel with
Astros ace Justin Verland-
er.
Colon walked Carlos Cor-
rea to start the eighth be-
fore Josh Reddick lined an
0-2 delivery down the right-
field line for a double that
put runners at second and
third, spoiling the no-hit bid
as well.
Opposing fans in Houston
gave Colon a standing U.S. woman wins Boston Marathon, 1st since '85
ovation. Two outs later, he
was pulled with the score
tied at 1.
Chirinos homered in the
third for the only hit off Ver-
lander, who struck out 11
over eight innings. Desiree Linden, of Washington, Mich., celebrates after winning the women's division of the 122nd Boston Marathon on Monday, April
16, 2018, in Boston. She is the first American woman to win the race since 1985.
