NEW YORK -- Brett Gardner has played with and against Bartolo Colon over the years. Gotten a few hits off him, too.And the Yankees leadoff man says theres nothing extraordinary about what Colon does on the mound -- except that he keeps on winning.Colon threw shutout ball into the seventh inning, Jay Bruce launched a three-run homer for his first hit since being traded and the New York Mets beat the Yankees 4-1 Thursday night for a split of the Subway Series.When you watch video of him or watch him on TV or watch him in game action, theres not a whole lot of `wow factor there, Gardner said.Its not an uncomfortable at-bat, but he obviously does a great job of getting guys out, he said.Colon struck out Gardner to begin the first and fanned no one else, and walked none. He escaped a two-on, no-out jam in the second while retiring 13 of 14 batters at Yankee Stadium.Colon (10-6) gave up six hits in 6 2/3 innings in earning his 228th victory, most among active players. The 43-year-old righty, who spent 2011 with the Yankees, became the first pitcher to win a Subway Series game for each New York team, the Elias Sports Bureau said.He doesnt quite throw as hard as when we had him. He was probably 92-93 (mph). He gets up to 91 now. But its still the same guy, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Hes been doing it for a long time. Its impressive what he does at 43 years old. Hes just got incredible control with really good movement.After each team won once at Citi Field earlier this week, the Mets took the wrapup of the two-game set in the Bronx.Bruce had been 0 for 10 since being acquired from Cincinnati on Monday before his drive into the Yankees bullpen in right-center field made it 4-0 in the fifth inning.Bruces 26th homer gave him the NL RBI lead with 83, ended an 0-for-19 rut overall and made him 5-for-56 against the Yankees. He cracked a smile on the way back to the dugout, where Colon and his new teammates greeted him with hearty high-fives.Jerry Blevins took over for Colon and gave up an RBI single to Aaron Hicks. The reliever had stranded his previous 19 inherited runners.Addison Reed pitched a perfect eighth and Jeurys Familia worked around a pair of one-out singles for his 38th save in 40 chances, retiring Rob Refsnyder on a game-ending double-play grounder over the third-base bag. Kelly Johnson gloved the ball, stepped on the base and threw to first.Johnson lined the first pitch from Nathan Eovaldi (9-8) in the fifth over the right-field wall. Curtis Granderson doubled with one out, and Eovaldi made a late throw trying to catch him on a comebacker by Alejandro De Aza. With two outs, Bruce homered.The Mets outhomered the Yankees 8-2 in the four-game series, connecting twice each day. The Yankees lead their city rivals 62-46 in regular-season interleague play and beat them in the 2000 World Series.De Aza started in center field after the Mets put slugging outfielder Yoenis Cespedes on the disabled list and De Aza made the defensive play of the night. He raced into the right-center gap for a diving, backhanded catch to rob Didi Gregorius in the fourth.SANCHEZ SUCCESSGary Sanchez started at DH for the Yankees and doubled and singled. On Wednesday, he got his first major league hit.Obviously, everyone he faces is for the first time, for the most part, Girardi said. He might see some guys that hes seen along the way as we move forward. But I think his at-bats have been OK.TRAINERS ROOMMets: Cespedes (quadriceps) joined David Wright, Lucas Duda, Matt Harvey, Jose Reyes, Juan Lagares, Asdrubal Cabrera and more Mets on the disabled list. Manager Terry Collins said hed never overseen a team hit so hard by injuries.Yankees: 1B Mark Teixeira was out of the lineup, a day after being hit on the left shin by a pitch from LHP Steven Matz.UP NEXTMets: RHP Noah Syndergaard (9-5, 2.48) faces the Tigers for the first time.

Colton McCarthy scored twice, Brayden Point had a goal and two assists, and Jack Rodewald also scored for the Warriors (15-35-9), who were 2 for 5 on the power play. Steve Blake Jersey .

The Montreal Canadiens announced on Friday that the veteran forward will return to the teams line-up on Saturday night when the Habs visit the Nashville Predators. LaMarcus Aldridge Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Kermit Washington Jersey . The Brazilian goalkeeper signed a loan deal with the Major League Soccer club on Friday as he looks to get playing time ahead of this summers World Cup in his home country. TORONTO -- Tampa Bays Blake Snell was fired up for his first career start against the Toronto Blue Jays.Torontos big bats gave the Rays rookie a harsh lesson about life in the major leagues.J.A. Happ and three relievers combined on a four-hitter as Happ became the first 16-game winner in the majors, and the Blue Jays beat Snell and the Rays 7-0 on Wednesday night.Snell (3-5) worked a career-low 1 2/3 innings and matched a career-worst by allowing five runs, two earned, and five hits. He threw 68 pitches, 37 strikes.Thats the first time weve really seen him struggle, manager Kevin Cash said. It wasnt for lack of stuff, he had the stuff going. It was lack of command and location with his pitches.Troy Tulowitzki homered and had a season-high five RBI and Justin Smoak also connected for the Blue Jays, whose 162 homers this season are second only to Baltimore. The Orioles entered play Wednesday with 170.Snell said he was really pumped up to face the defending AL East champions, whose 551 runs are second in the AL to Boston.I should have attacked more but Ill learn, Snell said. Its exciting for me because I know Im going to face them again. Thats one bad start, you could say, but what I learn from it is so much greater than the real outcome.Tulowitzki hit a two-out, three-run homer off Snell in the first inning, his 19th.I was surprised the way he got to it, Snell said.The drive snapped a streak of 17 straight solo home runs by Toronto, which hadnt gone deep with a man on base since Josh Donaldsons two-run homer in the first inning of a July 20 win at Arizona.All three runs were unearned after Rays right fielder Steven Souza Jr. was charged with an error when he dropped Donaldsons foul fly ball.I had to run a long way but that ball has got to be caught, a disappointed Souza said.Snell ran into trouble again in the second and could not finish the inning. After Devon Travis hit an RBI single, Donaldson reached on a fielders choice and went to second on a balk. Snell walked Edwin Encarrnacion and Russell Martin to load the bases for Tulowitzki, who walked on a full-count pitch to bring home another run.dddddddddddd Dylan Floro came on and retired Melvin Upton Jr. to end the rally.Happ (16-3) allowed four hits, all singles, to win his 10th consecutive decision.Joe Biagini, Jason Grilli and Ryan Tepera worked one inning each to complete Torontos seventh shutout.Cash said Happ lived up to a scouting report that suggested the Rays would see plenty of fastballs, especially four-seamers.We knew we were going to get it, we just werent able to handle it, Cash said.Toronto has won Happs past 11 outings and is 18-5 when he starts.Thats a team number right there, those wins, Happ said after passing Bostons Rick Porcello and Washingtons Stephen Strasburg for the major league lead. But it feels good to go out there and give us a chance to win consistently. Thats always been my goal.STARTING STRONGRays starting pitchers have allowed three earned runs or fewer in 21 consecutive games, the longest such run in team history.TRAINERS ROOMRays: SS Matt Duffy (left Achilles) went 0 for 4 in a rehab game at Triple-A Durham. Duffy is expected to make his Rays debut Friday. Hell come right an and play shortstop for us, Cash said. ... INF Richie Shaffer was optioned to Durham following Wednesdays game to open a spot for Duffy.Blue Jays: OF Junior Lake was selected from Triple-A Buffalo to replace Bautista.UP NEXTRays: Tampa Bay is off Thursday before opening a three-game series against the Yankees on Friday.
