Colorado announced the firing of manager Bud Black and bench coach Mike Redmond, with the team off to a 7-33 start after beating the Padres 9-3 on Sunday. They were coming off a 21-0 loss to San Diego on Saturday.

Third base coach Waren Schaeffer has been named interim manager and hitting coach Clint Hurdle will take over as interim bench coach. 

Black, who went 544-690 in nine seasons leading the Rockies, is the second MLB manager to be fired this season as the Pirates parted ways with Derek Shelton last week.
