The Milwaukee Brewers on Monday fired his manager Ned Yost, in the midst of a bad streak in the final stretch of the season which has put in check the aspirations of the team classified the playoffs for the first time since 1982.
The third base coach Dale Sveum will pilot the interim until the end of the regular campaign.
The Brewers share first place in the wild card of the National League along with Filis of Philadelphia.
With a record of 83-67, the Brewers have just 12 games to recover.
Milwaukee entered the month with an advantage of 5 1 / 2 games in the competition for the wild card, but have since lost 11 of 14, an equipment swept in four games by Filis the weekend.
The Brewers rested on Monday and on Tuesday began a series of three matches with the leaders of the central division, the Chicago Cubs.
"This has been a very difficult decision to make, and we appreciate all the work that Ned has done for this team to become contender," said general manager Doug Melvin. "At the end it was a mutual decision made to take the club into the best condition possible for the two weeks remaining in the season."
Milwaukee tries to avoid at all costs a repeat of its collapse last year. The Brewers led the National Center for eight and a half games in late June, but finished with 83-79 mark and were left out of the playoffs.
The Brewers, betting seriously to the postseason, gave a big blow when the July 7 became the star pitcher CC Sabathié Cleveland.
Sabathié, Cy Young last of the American League, boasts of foja 9-0 in 13 outings and six complete games and 1.59 of effectiveness.
Yost was in his sixth year as a pilot Brewers. When he was hired after the 2002 campaign, the franchise was carrying four seasons followed with 94 or more defeats.
But the following campaign culminated with records of 81-81, 75-87 and 83-79, a marked improvement for a club since 1992 not completed one year with positive balance.
