Spokane Indians 2019 Schedule

[David]

The following is the 2019 Regular Season Schedule for the Spokane Indians.

The Indians are members of the Northwest League, a Class A Short Season minor league, who play in the North Division. Spokane is the minor-league affiliate of the Texas Rangers (MLB). They are managed by first year manager Kenny Hook, who replaces Kenny Holmberg after one season. It'll mark the third consecutive season in which the Indians will have a new Skipper since the departure of Tim Hulett after the 2016 season. 

The Indians play in the North Division. Other teams in the division include the Everett AquaSox, Tri-City Dust Devils, and Vancouver Canadians. The Indians play 76 games (38 Home, 38 Away), with their home games played at Avista Stadium in Spokane, WA.

Spokane seeks to defend their North Division Championship and return to the Northwest League Championship, in which they fell 3-0 to the Eugene Emeralds. They begin the 2019 campaign on Friday, June 14th, on the road with a three-game series in Vancouver Canadians before traveling south to take on the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes for four games. It'll be the longest road stretch for the Indians this Season. Spokane will then return to a four-game series against the Boise Hawks on Friday, June 21st, and then a three-game series against the Tri-City Dust Devils. It'll be one of two long home stands, which also includes seven-game home stand from Friday, August 23-Friday, August 30.
