    2020 International League Field Managers Eight Il Clubs to Be Led by New Skippers This Season

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 11, 2020 2020 INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE FIELD MANAGERS EIGHT IL CLUBS TO BE LED BY NEW SKIPPERS THIS SEASON When the International League's 137th season opens on April 9, eight of the circuit’s fourteen teams will have a new manager leading the quest to capture the coveted Governors’ Cup trophy. Only six managers return from the 2019 season, although several of the League’s new field generals bring pre-existing ties to their teams and communities. It is the first time since 2006 that more than half of the circuit’s clubs changed managers during an offseason. The reining IL Manager of the Year Damon Berryhill is the International League’s longest- tenured manager, preparing to begin his fourth season at the helm of the Gwinnett Stripers. Also hoping to get his team back to the postseason is Brady Williams, who took Durham to the finals in his first year with the Bulls in 2019. They will be challenged in the South Division by another returning manager in Norfolk, Gary Kendall. The 2018 IL Manager of the Year, Lehigh Valley’s Gary Jones, will lead the IronPigs once again this season. Like Jones, Brian Esposito in Indianapolis is also at the helm for the third straight campaign. IL Hall of Famer Billy McMillon will manage the Red Sox for the franchise’s final season at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket. Two men have found themselves moving from a coach’s role to the manager’s chair in 2020. Pennsylvania-native Doug Davis (former Syracuse manager) takes over in Scranton/Wilkes- Barre after three seasons coaching, while in Columbus, Ohio-native Andy Tracy is the new manager after helping lead the Clippers to the 2019 Governors’ Cup title as hitting coach.

    The Boston Red Sox Sunday, May 2, 2021 * The Boston Globe Rangers outhit Red Sox to carve out a victory Julian McWilliams The Red Sox had their opportunities Saturday evening against the Rangers. The pulse of this contest seemed as if it was one that would work in the Red Sox’ favor. They had just one loss when collecting 10 or more hits in a contest. The Sox collected 12 in this one. The Red Sox hadn’t lost a game this year when the club scored four or more runs. They had six on Saturday. It’s rare that this team, one of the better offenses in baseball, loses by getting outhit. Yet Saturday marked one of those rare occasions. The Rangers offense outperformed the Sox’, tallying 13 hits on the night. More importantly, the Rangers scored when they needed to. The Red Sox did not, which led to a 8-6 loss in Arlington, Texas. If there’s an inning that determined the Sox’ fate, it was the fifth. The Red Sox were up, 5-3, in that inning behind back-to-back RBI singles by Xander Bogaerts and J.D. Martinez. Yet the team missed out on an opportunity to score more against reliever Taylor Hearn, who took over for Jordan Lyles at the start of the fifth. Rafael Devers would entertain a walk that loaded the bases with no outs, offering the Sox a chance to deliver what likely could have been the knockout blow. Yet Hearn got Christian Vázquez to ground into a force at the plate.
