Watch: Orioles' Hyde unleashes tirade on ump after running out of challenges
Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde was ejected from Tuesday's game versus the Houston Astros after coming out of the dugout in the sixth inning to discuss a close play at first base.
Following the ejection, which seemed to be due to the fact Hyde was unable to challenge the play because he'd already used his review earlier in the contest, the skipper unleashed a spirited tirade on first base umpire Edwin Moscoso, spiking his hat.

After Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena was ruled safe at first base, Ryan Mountcastle peered into the dugout in an apparent attempt to seek a review only to realize the team lost their challenge in the second inning.
"The guy, for me, didn't make the call right away, and obviously there was some confusion, I just wanted to get some help or something," Hyde said postgame, according to MASN. "And I got ejected with my back turned, that's what upset me. ... I just didn't think it was necessary to throw me out."
This marks the fourth time Hyde has been tossed this season and the 13th ejection of his five-year stint as O's manager.
