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. The Rockies are currently experiencing a major league-worst start to the season, with a record of 7-33. Following Black's dismissal, third base coach Warren Schaeffer has been appointed as the interim manager for the remainder of the season.
