(Reuters) - The Miami Marlins fired manager Mike Redmond on Sunday after the team slumped to a 16-22 record, the National League club said.

Miam have struggled despite making significant offseason moves in a bid to end a decade-long playoff drought.

The Marlins made the announcement shortly after the team escaped being no-hit by Atlanta's Shelby Miller in a 6-0 loss to the Braves. Miller lost his no-hitter after two were out in the ninth inning.
