The Spokane Indians entered play this week alone in first place in the Northwest League second half. Their opponents this week, the Eugene Emeralds, are not only staking a claim to that position but doing it in emphatic fashion.

The show must go on.

The 2026 Northwest League second half is becoming the title no one wants to win. But currently, the Spokane Indians sit in the driver’s seat.

VANCOUVER, B.C. – The Spokane Indians rallied from down three runs in the top of the ninth inning, taking the lead on Tanner Thach's two-run double and completing a 9-7 comeback win over the Vancouver Canadians on Thursday night in a High-A Northwest League game at Nat Bailey Stadium.

VANCOUVER, B.C. – Vancouver reliever Holden Wilkerson tossed four hitless, shutout innings and the Canadians held off the Spokane Indians 5-3 in the second of a six-game High-A Northwest League series at Nat Bailey Stadium on Wednesday. 

VANCOUVER, B.C. – The Spokane Indians bullpen found itself in a giving mood on Tuesday.

It was a rough week for the Spokane Indians, dropping four of six to the fifth-place Tri-City Dust Devils, allowing 44 runs in the process. But even though they’ve lost seven of their last 10 games, no one in the league seems interested in taking an advantage in the standings.

For much of Sunday’s game, it seemed like if something could go wrong it did for the Spokane Indians. But an eight-run rally in the seventh inning cured all of those ills.

After losing consecutive games at the beginning of the month, the Spokane Velocity have rediscovered their stride, going unbeaten in their last four matches following a 3-1 USL League One victory Saturday against Fort Wayne at ONE Spokane Stadium.

Tyler Bremner “put it all together” for Tri-City on Saturday, showing the promise of his lofty draft status. So did his offense.
