DENVER (AP) — Hunter Goodman hit a double, a triple and a home run and had five RBIs on Sunday 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) fired manager Bud Black, whose 544 wins are the most in franchise history, a day after Colorado lost 21-0 to the Padres. The Rockies promoted third base coach Warren Schaeffer to interim manager.

Germán Márquez (1-6) pitched seven innings and gave up a run on three hits.

Goodman’s triple off Nick Pivetta (5-2) drove in two before Mickey Moniak hit an RBI single to make it 6-1 in the third inning.

Pivetta gave up six runs on seven hits with two walks over four innings.

Ryan McMahon hit a solo shot in the eighth for Colorado.

Key moment

Brenton Doyle led off with a single and moved to second when Jordan Beck was hit by a pitch to set up Goodman’s three-run home run that gave the Rockies a 3-1 lead in the first.
