The Colorado Rockies fired longtime manager Bud Black and bench coach Mike Redmond after a dismal 7-33 start to the season, the team announced following Sunday’s game.
Third base coach Warren Schaeffer has been elevated to interim manager for the remainder of this season, while hitting coach Clint Hurdle will take over as interim bench coach.
Black is the winningest manager in Rockies history and was in his ninth season as the club’s skipper.
