DENVER (AP) 鈥� The Colorado Rockies have fired Bud Black, the winningest manager in franchise history, after a 7-33 start that鈥檚 one of the worst in Major League Baseball history.
Colorado promoted third base coach Warren Schaeffer to be the interim manager, the team announced Sunday after a 9-3 win over San Diego. That victory wasn鈥檛 enough to save Black鈥檚 job after the Rockies to the Padres on Saturday. They also fired bench coach Mike Redmond. Hitting coach Clint Hurdle takes over as interim bench coach.
The Rockies have the worst 40-game start since the 1988 Baltimore Orioles, who were 6-34.
