Hey Now: 2020 All-Star Season Schedule Set

MOOSIC, PA (August 21, 2019) - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, are pleased to announce their 2020 All-Star season schedule. The 2020 season will open on Thursday, April 9, at PNC Field against Buffalo, kicking off an eight-game homestand to begin the campaign.

The highlight of the summer is the Triple-A All-Star Game, presented by the Lackawanna County Visitors Bureau, making its return to Northeast Pennsylvania for the first time since 1995. From July 13-15, PNC Field will serve as the site for the 2020 Triple-A Home Run Derby and All-Star Game as the very best players from across the nation come to Moosic.

"We are extremely excited by our entire 2020 schedule, especially with the anticipation of what the Triple-A All-Star Game will bring," said RailRiders Team President and General Manager, Josh Olerud. "Our fans love and support the future big leaguers that play every game at PNC Field, so it will be an extra special treat to have a week packed full of festivities like a celebrity softball game, the home run derby and, of course, the Minor League's premier mid-summer classic where our fans get to see some of the best young stars in baseball right in their own backyard."
