Skipper Treanor Wins No. 371, Passes Charlie Carr For 4th All-Time
TOLEDO, Ohio -- After having a further ascension through the Indianapolis Indians' record books put on hold during the All-Star break, skipper Dean Treanor guided the Tribe past Toledo, 7-2, Thursday night to claim his 371st Indians victory and move into fourth place in franchise history in all-time managerial wins.
Treanor passed several of the most illustrious names from Indians' coaching history en route to his newest milestone - including Hall-of-Famer Al Lopez (9th, 277 wins), Dave Miley (7th, 314 wins) and Owen (Donie) Bush (5th, 365 wins) - and officially overtook Charlie Carr's win total (370) from the 1906-1910 seasons with a victory tonight in Toledo.
Through four-plus seasons at the helm of the team (2011-15), Treanor has amassed a career record of 371-297. He owns the best record in the franchise's prestigious 300-Win Club (.555 win percent), and at 34 games above the .500 mark with just 52 contests remaining during the 2015 season, is poised to become the team's first-ever manager to lead the club to five straight winning seasons.
Tribe outfielder Jaff Decker helped pace tonight's milestone, collecting three hits and driving in a pair of runs. Starter Chris Volstad (6-4) worked into the sixth inning to earn his sixth Triple-A win of the year.
Toledo cut the lead to just two runs in the sixth frame before Tony Sanchez put the game out of a reach with a two-RBI double that capped a four-run eighth inning.
