The Los Angeles Angels fired manager Joe Maddon on Tuesday amid the team's franchise record-breaking losing streak.
Third base coach Phil Nevin was named the interim manager ahead of Tuesday night's game against the visiting Boston Red Sox. The Angels went on to lose that game 6-5, pushing their losing streak to 13 games which broke their single-season franchise record of 12 games that was set 34 years ago.
Maddon, 68, guided the club to a 27-29 record this season and a 130-148 record since beginning his latest stint as the Angels' skipper in 2020.
