Boston Red Sox pitching great Luis Tiant, a three-time All-Star and two-time American League ERA leader, has died at age 83.

Multiple media outlets in Boston confirmed the right-hander’s passing on Tuesday.

Tiant won 229 games with six teams over 19 seasons in the majors (1964-82), striking out 2,416 batters and retiring with a 3.30 ERA in 573 appearances (484 starts).

The Cuban-born Tiant made his first All-Star team and captured his first ERA title (1.60) as a 21-game winner with the then-Cleveland Indians in 1968.

Traded to the Minnesota Twins after a 20-loss season in 1969, Tiant revived his career after signing with Boston as a free agent in May 1971.

Over eight seasons with the Red Sox, he went 122-81 with a 3.36 ERA while winning another ERA title in 1972 (1.91) and earning All-Star nods in 1974 and 1976. He recorded at least 20 wins with Boston in three seasons (1973, 1974 and 1976) and was inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 1997.

Tiant pitched for Cleveland (1964-69), Minnesota (1970), Boston (1971-78), the New York Yankees (1979-80), the Pittsburgh Pirates (1981) and the California Angels (1982).

He won two of his three starts against Cincinnati during his lone World Series appearance in 1975, with the Reds beating Boston in seven games.
