Edman homers, Roberts earns 1,000th managerial win as Dodgers beat A's 9-3

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) --- Tommy Edman had four hits including his first
home run of the season, and Dave Roberts became the fastest manager in history
to reach 1,000 career wins after the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Athletics 9-3
on Tuesday.
Miguel Rojas also homered to help the Dodgers to their fourth straight victory
and seventh in eight games. Edman had four RBIs while Mookie Betts added three
hits.
Edman, who missed the first 73 games of the season recovering from right ankle
surgery, crushed a first-pitch slider from A's starter Jeffrey Springs for a
three-run homer in the third inning. Edman also had a hit in the fifth then
added an RBI single in the seventh.
Roberts became the 69th manager in history to reach 1,000 wins and the quickest
to do it. Roberts achieved his milestone managerial victory in 1,606 games. Cap
Anson, the next fastest, needed 1,641 games and won his 1,000th in 1893.
He is the second manager to reach the milestone in the past two days, after
Detroit skipper A.J. Hinch won his 1,000th in a 7-3 Tigers win over the Yankees.
Colby Thomas homered for the second consecutive game for the A's.
Justin Wrobleski (10-2) had a career-high 11 strikeouts in seven innings and
allowed three runs and seven hits without a walk. Brock Stewart and Wyatt Mills
retired three batters apiece.
The Dodgers led 2-0 in the first inning on Betts' RBI single and Teoscar
Hernandez's sacrifice fly.
A's catcher Shea Langeliers reached on an infield single in the bottom of the
inning and scored from first on Jonah Heim's single over the head of right
fielder Kyle Tucker.
After Edman's homer off Springs in the third, Rojas connected for a solo shot
in the sixth.
Springs (3-8) allowed six runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.
