The New York Mets suffer embarrassing 3-game sweep to the Colorado Rockies, a team that lost 119 games last year. The Mets scored 1 run in 18 innings in their doubleheader today, collecting 10 hits. They have now been shut out 5 times this year. They are 9-19.

The San Diego Padres, who had a record-tying month with their 4-run plus comebacks, now feel the pain from the other side. The Arizona Diamondbacks torch the Padres bullpen for 10 runs on 12 hits in the 7th and 8th innings to win 12-7 after being down 7-1.

Chad Tracy, now in charge of turning around the Red Sox, is as the 19th interim manager in the Divisional era. Only one of the previous 18 interim managers produced a winning record the rest of the season: Billy Martin went 91-54 with the 1985 Yankees after replacing Yogi Berra.

The last Boston manager to be replaced this early in the season was pitcher/manager Cy Young in 1907. He stepped down voluntarily after a 3-3 start. That team, like this one, also got off to a 10-17 start. They finished the season with a 59-90-6 record.

Red Sox owner John Henry: ‘Alex Cora led this organization to one of the greatest seasons in Red Sox history in 2018, and for that, and the many years that followed, he will always have our deepest gratitude. He has had a lasting impact on this team and on this city. He has led on and off the field in so many important ways. These decisions are never easy, but this one is especially difficult given what Alex has meant to the Red Sox since the day he arrived. I want to thank Alex, our coaches, and their families for everything they have given to this organization. They have been part of this club in a way that goes beyond the field, and they will always have our respect and gratitude.”
