SEATTLE (AP) — Bartolo Colon of the New York Mets has lost his bid for a perfect game when he allowed a single to Seattle’s Robinson Cano with two outs in the seventh inning.

Colon retired all 20 batters he faced Wednesday before Cano slapped a 2-2 pitch into left field. The 41-year-old Colon applauded the hit then got the third out of the seventh.

The Mets lead 3-0.
