BALTIMORE (AP) — Andruw Monasterio hit a grand slam as part of a 10-run ninth inning and the Boston Red Sox snapped a four-game skid with a 17-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday.

Hours later, the Red Sox (10-17) fired manager Alex Cora and five members of the coaching staff. He will be replaced on an interim basis by Chad Tracy, who had been managing the club’s Triple-A Worcester affiliate.
