The Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora after the club slipped to a 22-31 record. Bench coach Chad Tracy will serve as interim manager and said the team's pitching has been inconsistent while recent offensive droughts compounded losses. Boston sits well below .500 and the front office made the change to try to stop the slide. The move matters because the team needs immediate pitching and strategic improvements and it could reshuffle trade and roster plans before the July trade deadline.
