ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -The Texas Rangers fired pitching coach Mark Connor and bullpen coach Dom Chiti after Friday night’s 9-8 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Andy Hawkins, who had been the pitching coach at Triple-A Oklahoma since 2006, will replace Connor. Jim Colborn, formerly the director of Pacific Rim operations, is the new bullpen coach.
The move was announced about 45 minutes after the Rangers won.
Connor was in his second season as pitching coach after spending three seasons as the team’s bullpen coach. Chiti was in his second season as bullpen coach.
The Rangers came into Friday’s game with a 5.24 ERA, the worst in the American League.
