Garrett Crochet on all of the firings yesterday:
"We've been playing terrible, and it kind of feels like those guys paid the cost of our own crime." via @timbhealey.
Red Sox take care of business in Day 1 under Chad Tracy, beating the Orioles, 5-3. Nice start by Early. Aggressive baserunning (four steals) and a homer by Willson Contreras. Aroldis Chapman passes Goose Gossage for second on all-time strikeout list for relievers.
Breaking: The Boston Red Sox have fired manager Alex Cora, hitting coach Peter Fatse, bench coach Rรกmon Vazquez, third-base coach Kyle Hudson and game-planning coach Jason Varitek, sources tell @jeffpassan.
The Red Sox are currently 10-17 and last place in the American League East.

Cora declined to say why he took Narvaez out of the lineup.
Asked if it was disciplinary, Cora said he wanted to keep it between him & Narvaez: โHe understands. This is something that happens in every club. Or just happens to be early in the season. Itโs the right thing to do.โ
