St. Louis Cardinals Fire Mike Matheny As Manager

 
 
St. Louis, Mo.—The St. Louis Cardinals fired Manager Mike Matheny Saturday night and named bench coach Mike Shildt as interim manager. Matheny was in his seventh year as manager.
 
The firing came shortly after an 8-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds dropped the team to a 47-46 season.
 
The Cardinals also relieved hitting coach John Mabry and assistant hitting coach Bill Mueller of their duties.
 
“Mike Matheny has served the St. Louis Cardinals organization with tremendous dedication and pride and I am thankful for his service to the Cardinals over the past six and a half seasons,” Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. said in a statement. “On behalf of the entire Cardinals organization, I would like to wish Mike the very best.”
 
It marks the first time the Cardinals have changed managers during a season since 1995, when Joe Torre was replaced by Mike Jorgensen.
Matheny, 47, joined the Cardinals following the 2011 season.
