Bartolo Colon became Major League Baseball’s winningest pitcher from Latin America as the Texas Rangers defeated the visiting Seattle Mariners 11-4 Tuesday night.

It was the 246th career victory for the 45-year-old right-hander, breaking a tie with Nicaragua’s Dennis Martinez. Earlier this season, Colon passed Juan Marichal (243 wins) for the most for a native of the Dominican Republic.
