Angels fire manager Joe Maddon after their 12th consecutive loss

LOS ANGELES — The Angels, mired in a 12-game losing streak that negated a promising start to the season, fired manager Joe Maddon on Tuesday and named third-base coach Phil Nevin as interim manager.

Maddon, 68, was in the final year of a three-year, $12 million contract that included a $4 million option for 2022.

The Angels were 24-13 and tied for first-place with the Houston Astros in the American League West on May 15 but have lost 16 of 19 games since then to fall to 27-29 and 8 1/2 games behind the Astros.
