The 44-year-old pitcher carried a perfect game into the eighth 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. “I don’t ever think about what age I am or who is facing me,” Colon said through a translator. Of the first 17 batters Colon faced, he went to an 0-2 count on 10 and struck out six in that span. “When I pitched seven innings perfect, I started thinking about it,” he said. Perez is coming off the shortest start by any Texas starter, lasting just three innings and giving up eight runs.
