Mike Redmond was fired Sunday as manager of the Miami Marlins, moments after they were nearly no-hit in a home loss that completed a three-game sweep.
Atlanta’s Shelby Miller was one out from a no-hitter when Justin Bour singled in the Marlins’ 6-0 defeat, which dropped them to 16-22.
Redmond’s replacement will be announced Monday, the team said. Rob Leary, Redmond’s bench coach, was also fired.
“I feel bad for them,” reliever Steve Cishek said. “It’s not their fault.”
The team’s owner, Jeffrey Loria, might have recalled that a managerial change paid off once before when the Marlins were 16-22.
