They win and the pilot is dismissed

Hunter Goodman doubled, tripled, homered, and drove in five runs to help the Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 9-3 and snap an eight-game losing streak.

After the game, the Rockies (7-33, the worst record in MLB) fired manager Bud Black, whose 544 wins are the most in franchise history, one day after Colorado lost 21-0. The Rockies promoted third base coach Warren Schaeffer to interim position.

Germán Márquez (1-6) pitched seven innings and allowed one run on three hits.

Goodman's triple off Nick Pivetta (5-2) drove in two runs before Mickey Moniak hit an RBI single.

Lars Nootbaar, Willson Contreras, and Nolan Arenado homered, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Washington Nationals 6-1 to complete the clean sweep in the three-game series. The Cardinals have swept consecutive series as part of an eight-game winning streak, their longest since August 2022.

NATHAN EOVALDI pitched seven scoreless innings, Marcus Semien and Josh Jung hit two-run homers and the Texas Rangers beat the Detroit Tigers 6-1.

The Rangers had lost their last six series while the Tigers had won their first five home series this season.

Ronel Blanco struck out a career-high 11 in eight innings and Shawn Dubin completed a two-hitter to lead the Houston Astros to a 6-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
