The Reds win over Houston on Tuesday was Dusty Baker's 1,480th career win. It tied him with Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver for 21st place on the all-time list for wins by a manager.
Baker is third among active managers in wins. Only Tony La Russa and Jim Leyland have more.
"It took a week to get," Baker said. "We could have used a win three or four days ago. It's nice to move up the ladder but we just needed this game."
