DETROIT -- With history on the line, Bartolo Colon delivered in his start for the Rangers on Friday night against the Tigers at Comerica Park. The offense, however, did not, as Texas dropped a 3-1 decision in the second installment of this four-game series.
Colon was going for his 246th win career win, which would make him the winningest MLB pitcher from Latin America. The 45-year-old threw an eight-inning complete game, giving up five hits and issuing no walks. Eight innings marked a season-high for Colon, and it was the 10th start in which he allowed fewer than four runs.
