The Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday fired manager Bob Brenley in a move that was anticipated after weeks of poor performances by the team.
The Diamondbacks won the last two games against the San Diego Padres but suffered an 11-game losing streak prior to those wins.
"This is never an easy decision to make, particularly with someone as well-liked and respected as Bob," said Jerry Colangelo, the team's chairman and chief executive.
