Joe Torre tied Sparky Anderson for fifth place on the all-time managerial wins list, and Matt Kemp helped him do it in dramatic fashion. Kemp drove in the winning run with a two-out single in the 10th inning, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Oakland Athletics 5-4 on Tuesday night and providing Torre with his 2,194th victory during the regular season. Torre, whose loss total is 36 fewer than Anderson's, has won six pennants and four World Series titles.
