Milwaukee's Pat Murphy first to win 3 straight Manager of Year awards. Will Venable takes AL honor

Pat Murphy from first-time World Series champion Milwaukee is the NL Manager of the Year, making him the first skipper from either league to win the award three years in a row. Milwaukee has won the NL Central in all three seasons with Murphy as its manager after he spent eight seasons on Craig Counsell’s staff. The Brewers led the majors this year with a franchise-record 103 wins during the regular season, then in the playoffs swept the two-time defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series and beat Tampa Bay in a five-game World Series. kAm|FCA9J[ H9@ EFC?D eg @? }@G] ag[ H2D :? 2 9@DA:E2= 365 C64@G6C:?8 7C@> 9:A C6A=246>6?E DFC86CJ H96? 96 5:5 :?E6CG:6HD @? |{q }6EH@C< 367@C6 2?5 27E6C E96 2??@F?46>6?E]k^Am kAm(:== '6?23=6 :D E96 p>6C:42? {628F6 |2?286C @7 E96 *62C 27E6C E96 r9:428@ (9:E6 $@I 3642>6 E96 7:CDE E62> :? |{q 9:DE@CJ E@ k2 9C67lQ9EEADi^^2A?6HD]4@>^2CE:4=6^H9:E6\D@I\49:428@\>=3\A=2J@77D\2bgb23fgff2b6fbe_7f`b2b_6ff2gbhdQmC6249 E96 A=2J@77D 27E6C 4@?D64FE:G6 `__\=@DD D62D@?Dk^2m] ~?=J E96 E9:C5 @7 E9@D6 42>6 F?56C '6?23=6 27E6C 96 E@@< @G6C :? a_ad] r9:428@ H6?E gc\fg E9:D J62C]k^Am kAmq2==@E:?8 3J E96 q2D632== (C:E6CD’ pDD@4:2E:@? @7 p>6C:42 H2D 4@?5F4E65 367@C6 E96 A@DED62D@? 2?5 2??@F?465 %F6D52J ?:89E]k^Am kAm%96 @E96C }{ 7:?2=:DED H6C6 !9:=256=A9:2’D s@? |2EE:?8=J 2?5 pE=2?E2’D (2=E (6:DD]k^Am kAm%96 qC6H6CD A=2J :? |2;@C {628F6 q2D632==’D D>2==6DE >2C<6E 2?5 92G6 2 A2JC@== :?
