PHILADELPHIA (AP) â Brandon Belt and Kevin Gausman made sure Gabe Kapler could raise a glass in his return to Philadelphia.
Belt hit a two-run homer, Gausman niftily pitched out of trouble in six innings and the San Francisco Giants beat the Phillies 2-0 Monday night.
Kapler became the first manager in major league baseball history to start his career 200-200. Kapler, who was 161-163 as Philadelphiaâs manager in 2018-19, was booed when he brought out the lineup card.
âMy feelings are Iâm just focused on doing a good job with the San Francisco Giants,” Kapler said.
His coaches and a few players, including Gausman, came into his office and had a drink together to celebrate his 200th win.

[D’backs.com] D-backs Minor League Spring Training report - Given the chaotic nature of 2020, there were some unknowns prior to camps opening, but everything got off to a strong start in Arizona as the overwhelming majority of players showed up in shape and ready to go. Josh Barfield, the D-backs’ director of player development, noted that several players, including Blaze Alexander and Jake McCarthy, added muscle to their frames as well. But perhaps some of the biggest developments are taking place on the mound. “Pitching-wise, all the guys that have come back are looking really, really good,” Barfield said. “The guys that didn’t come out last year at the alternate training site were throwing ‘pens and finding live simulated games to throw in. So, for the most part, everyone has come back where they were and, in some cases, have even surpassed where they were.”
