Joe Girardi was fired as New York Yankees manager Thursday after a decade that produced just one World Series title for a team that expects to win every year. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman announced the move five days after New York lost to Houston in Game 7 of the AL Championship Series. Girardi’s 910-710 regular-season record with the Yankees is sixth in victories managing the team behind Joe McCarthy (1,460), Joe Torre (1,173), Casey Stengel (1,149), Miller Huggins (1,067) and Ralph Houk (944). ::Former Washington Nationals pitching coach Mike Maddux has been hired by the St. Louis Cardinals. ::The Minnesota Twins have named Garvin Alston pitching coach.
