The Colorado Rockies have relieved manager Bud Black of his duties, effective immediately. The decision was made one day after the team suffered a significant loss to the San Diego Padres at their home stadium. At the time of the managerial change, the Rockies held a major league-worst record of 7-33. Third base coach Warren Schaeffer has been appointed as the interim manager and will assume the role for the remainder of the season.
