Colon makes Red Sox debut

Right-hander Bartlolo Colon just completed his first of two innings of scheduled work for the Red Sox. He threw 20 pitches (13 strikes) in the first inning, looked good and threw hard. After allowing a lead-off single to the Rays' Akinori Iwamura, Jason Bartlett reached on an error by Sox shortstop Alex Cora.

Colon then walked Carlos Pena before striking out B.J. Upton. Colon got Jonny Gomes to pop out to catcher Dusty Brown and then Colon showed his range when he covered first on a ground ball to the right side and recorded the final out of the inning on John Rodriguez.

Colon will work one more inning.
