Bartolo Colon had thrown just 87 pitches through eight innings last against the Orioles. Joe Girardi opted to go to his closer, Mariano Rivera, instead of letting his veteran try and complete a shutout. It might be a tough call for some, but I stay with my vet every time at that pitch count — at least let him start the inning.

Keep Colon in: 5
Put Mo in: 4
