Colon done

Bartolo Colon finished his second inning today and should be done. He gave up two hits, one being a solo home run by Jon Weber.

In all, Colon threw 26 pitches, 18 for strikes. He was wild at first and then settled down.

The Red Sox made it official, announcing that they placed Doug Mirabelli on unconditional release waivers.
