    It's no secret: Bartolo Colon simply sticks with his fastball.

    He runs it, sinks it, spots it right on the corner or just above the hands.

    So the Pittsburgh Pirates went into Wednesday's game well aware their mound opponent was relying on that heater some 90 percent of the time this season. Still, they couldn't do much with it.

    Colon carried a three-hitter into the eighth inning, and the New York Mets got home runs from David Wright and Lucas Duda in a 5-0 victory over the sloppy Pirates.
