Brad Mills is fired after watching the core he agreed to manage sold off beneath him

2012 – Brad Mills is fired after watching the core he agreed to manage sold off beneath him. In just under three years, he compiled a 171-274 (.384) record. Tony DeFrancesco was brought up from AAA to serve as interim manager. The change did not bring immediate results as Houston lost to Arizona, 12-4, and completed the month on a 1-13 run. 

The Astros suffer yet another brutal loss, giving up 9 runs in the 5th inning to fall to the Diamondbacks, 12 – 4. After the game, manager Brad Mills, hitting coach Mike Barnett and first base coach Bobby Meacham are all fired. The Astros have the worst record in the majors at 39-82 and are threatening to set a new franchise record for losses for the second straight year.
