Long before becoming the skipper of the Colorado Rockies sinking ship, Bud Black was a decorated Angels pitching coach and respected San Diego Padres manager.

German Marquez tossed seven efficient innings Sunday and Hunter Goodman knocked in five runs as the Colorado Rockies snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 9-3 win over the visiting San Diego Padres in Denver.

Despite a 9 - 3 victory over the San Diego Padres, the Colorado Rockies proceeded with the firing of manager Bud Black. The decision followed a devastating 21 - 0 loss in the previous game.
