10-year Marliniversary: Nolasco passes Willis as Marlins’ all-time wins leader

In three decades of baseball, the Florida/Miami Marlins have had perennial All-Stars, Rookies of the Year and World Series MVPs take the mound.

Would you believe that no one has ever won more games in a Marlins uniform than right-hander Ricky Nolasco? On this day 10 years ago, Nolasco surpassed Dontrelle Willis as the franchise’s all-time wins leader. He picked up his 69th career victory as the Miami Marlins defeated the Colorado Rockies, 7-6.

Nolasco was not his sharpest on May 22, 2012 at Marlins Park. As the game went on, Nolasco settled in and the bats came to life.
