2 – Terry Mulholland (1990 – 1993, 1996)

Mulholland was never flashy, but was workmanlike and generally got the job done. In fact, he has a no-hitter under his belt. Mulholland was another key component to the 1993 starting rotation, earning an All-Star berth. He won 41 games from 1991 through 1993, leading the league with 12 complete games in 1992. Twice hurling over 200 innings in a season, Mulholland finished his Phillies career with a 3.68 ERA.
