SACRAMENTO — Milestones have become commonplace during this era of Dodgers baseball, but Tuesday night delivered one that placed Dave Roberts in a class of his own.
Behind a career performance from Justin Wrobleski and a breakout night from Tommy Edman, the Dodgers cruised to a 9-3 victory over the Athletics at Sutter Health Park, giving Roberts the 1,000th managerial victory of his career.
The Dodgers improved to 56-30, extending their lead over the Padres to 12 games atop the National League West while continuing to separate themselves as baseball's most complete club.
For Roberts, the win was historic.
