Rockies manager Weiss taken to hospital (The Associated Press)

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Colorado Rockies manager Walt Weiss has been taken to hospital after two days of stomach discomfort.

A club spokesman said Wednesday that the 51-year-old Weiss left Angel Stadium right before batting practice with athletic trainer Keith Dugger to get a follow-up exam. Bench coach Tom Runnells will handle things until Weiss returns.

The Rockies begin a four-game series up the freeway at Dodger Stadium Thursday night.

This is Weiss' third season with the Rockies, who entered Wednesday 11-18 with a 10-game losing streak.
