Pat Murphy Named NL Manager of the Year Again
Milwaukee Brewers skipper Pat Murphy was named the National League Manager of the Year on Tuesday night for the second straight season, MLB Network announced. Both Murphy and Cleveland Guardians manager Stephen Vogt defied expectations to win the award in back-to-back seasons in their first two years on the job. Pretty impressive. The Brewers won the NL Central division for the second straight season and finished with the best record in baseball. Murphy joins Hall of Famer Bobby Cox (2004-5) as the NL's only manager to win the award in consecutive seasons. Milwaukee was three games under .500 in late May with six pitchers on the injured list, but they had winning streaks of eight, 11, and a franchise-record 14 games between May 25 and Aug. 16 to eventually finish 97-65. The 66-year-old Murphy led the Brew Crew to the best record in franchise history, but they fell short of postseason success by losing to the Dodgers in the NL Championship Series.
