Next up for Bartolo Colon is the record he has pursued into his mid-40s.

He passed Juan Marichal two weeks ago to become the all-time leader in career wins (244) by a native of the Dominican Republic and late Saturday caught Nicaragua-born Dennis Martinez for most wins (245) by a native of Latin America.

The 45-year-old Colon allowed three runs in five-plus innings as the Texas Rangers rallied from an early hole to blow out the Chicago White Sox 13-4.

Colon's next win will leave him alone at the top.
