The Baltimore Orioles have fired manager Brandon Hyde following a 15-28 start to the season.
Third base coach Tony Mansolino will take over as interim manager for the club, which also dismissed field coordinator Tim Cossins.
“As the head of baseball operations, the poor start to our season is ultimately my responsibility,” Orioles executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias said in a statement Saturday. “Part of that responsibility is pursuing difficult changes in order to set a different course for the future.”
