Manuel began managing the Phillies in 2005 and has helped the franchise take command of a division that had previously been dominated by Atlanta and New York. Manuel reached the landmark win total in two fewer seasons than Mauch needed.
Mauch's tenure as skipper of the Phillies lasted from 1960-1968.
Additional highlights from Tuesday's win were the solid outings from righty starter Roy Oswalt and left-handed reliever Antonio Bastardo.

Bastardo, a 26-year-old native of the Dominican Republic, had posted a 22.07 ERA in his last 7 appearances. Bastardo's effort on Tuesday marked his first 1-2-3 inning of work since September 2nd.
With the hopes of putting some new records in the books, the Phils will face the wild card hopeful Braves once again, in the regular season finale on Wednesday.
