BALTIMORE—Luis Garcia Jr. had two RBIs to fuel a six-run first inning and the Washington Nationals defeated Baltimore 10–6 on Saturday, hours after the Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde.

Soon after arriving at the ballpark, the Orioles learned the team dismissed Hyde and made third base coach Tony Mansolino the interim manager. Hyde guided Baltimore into the postseason in 2023 and 2024, but this year the Orioles started 15–28 and were mired in last place in the AL East when general manager Mike Elias decided to make a change.
