Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona heads into the All-Star break with history on his side.

With his team rallying for a 4-2 win over the visiting Colorado Rockies on Sunday, Francona became the 13th manager in MLB history to reach 2,000 career wins.

The 66-year-old joins the Texas Rangers' Bruce Bochy as the only active managers to accomplish the feat. Of the other 11 individuals ahead of Francona, 10 are in the Hall of Fame, while both Bochy and former Reds manager Dusty Baker are expected to be enshrined.

The Reds are one of the teams Francona played for during a 10-season playing career. He batted .227 in 102 games for Cincinnati in 1987.

Francona boasts a 2,000-1,719 record spread out across four teams and 24 seasons. He has reached the postseason 11 times, winning the World Series twice with the Boston Red Sox (2004, 2007).

In his first season at the helm in Cincinnati, Francona has led the Reds to a 50-47 record heading into the All-Star break.

Connie Mack holds the MLB record with 3,731 victories, the only individual to have topped 3,000 wins. Francona could pass Leo Durocher (2,008) and Walter Alston (2,040) to move into 11th place by the end of the season.
