Dave Roberts became the fastest manager to reach 1,000 wins with the Los Angeles Dodgers‘ 9-3 victory over the Athletics on Tuesday, June 30.
Roberts has compiled a 1,000-606 record, reaching the 1,000-win mark in fewer games than Cap Anson (1,641 decisions), according to MLB’s Sarah Langs.

He earned every one of his managerial victories with the Dodgers.
Roberts served as interim manager for the San Diego Padres on June 15, 2015, following the Padres’ decision to fire Bud Black. The Padres suffered a 9-1 loss to the Athletics at Petco Park. Pat Murphy was then hired to take over as interim manager for the rest of that season.
Roberts was hired by Los Angeles in 2016 and finished that season as the Manager of the Year after leading the Dodgers to a 91-71 record.
He’s won three World Series titles and five National League pennants during his tenure.
When do Dodgers play next?
The Dodgers will play the final game of a three-game series against the Athletics on Wednesday, July 1. The game will start at 6:40 p.m. PT.
