The Baltimore Orioles have fired Brandon Hyde as manager after their 15-28 start to the season. The Orioles are 10½ games behind the New York Yankees in the American League East.
Tony Mansolino will take over as interim manager, according to the team, which also fired field coordinator Tim Cossins.
\"As the head of baseball operations, the poor start to our season is ultimately my responsibility,\" Orioles general manager Mike Elias said in a statement. \"Part of that responsibility is pursuing difficult changes in order to set a different course for the future. I want to thank Brandon for his hard work, dedication and passion all these years, and for returning the team to the playoffs and winning an AL East championship. His many positive contributions to this organization and to Baltimore will remain, and we wish he and his family the best.\"
