Caratini made the decision look good as he launched a three-run home run in the 10th inning to give the Brewers a 5-2 victory over his former team, the Chicago Cubs. Eric Lauer had been struggling for near a month when he took the hill for the Brewers on their Independence Day tilt with the Cubs. Despite not getting the win, Lauer pitched a quality start for the first time in nearly a month. The Cubs loaded the bases with one out in the 10th but failed to score. Yency Almonte struck out Connor Joe with runners at the corners for his first save as a Dodger. The only other save in his career came for the Rockies in August 2020. Milwaukee tied it in the bottom of the ninth when Christian Yelich walked to force in a run, but the Brewers left the bases loaded. Lindor turned on a Greene fastball and drove it over the wall in right for his 13th homer and a 4-3 New York lead. The Mets added a run in the seventh before the Reds answered in the bottom of the frame with Senzel's homer, his second of the season and first since April 26. It was the first MLB triple play in 12 years that started with a fly out to center field, and the first time ever that a center fielder (8) and third baseman (5) combined for all three outs. He added to that total on Monday when Nimmo connected for three-run homer in the second inning and Lindor hit a solo shot in the fifth. Greene was victimized by the homer again in the fifth, as the Mets took the lead for good. The Reds responded in the third against Walker. The Mets right-hander hit Matt Reynolds with a pitch to open the inning. For Grier, this will be his first time in the GM position, though he has remained in the game since retiring after the 2010-11 season. That process included interviews with all sorts of candidates, though it had been widely reported for the last week that it came down to a competition between Grier and another well known former NHLer in Ray Whitney.

Il était jusqu’à tout récemment conseiller aux opérations hockey avec les Rangers de New York. Mais je suis prêt à relever le défi.

Two days before the annual draft, Grier takes over a team in transition: San Jose missed the past three postseasons and recently fired its coach.

Grier said he did not have a timetable for naming a coach, and was putting his immediate focus on the N.H.L. draft, which begins Thursday in Montreal. San Jose has the No. 11 overall pick. “I’m not going to tear down the roster,” he said. “I look forward to seeing what he will do with the Sharks.” “Since my playing days, the league itself has gotten more and more diverse, and that’s something I’m happy to see,” he said.

He was most recently the hockey operations advisor for the New York Rangers.

The new San Jose Sharks executive follows brother Chris, the Miami Dolphins GM, into the front office and hopes to open doors for more minorities.

Grier may be the first Black general manager in the NHL, but he isn’t even the first general manager in his family. “Mike is a true testament to one of our organization’s principles. That’d be Chris, too, whose love for the game was handed down to his younger brother before playing football at the University of Massachusetts. Campanis was promptly fired from the Dodgers. But Major League Baseball didn’t name its first Black general manager, Bob Watson, until the early 1990s. That would be his older brother, Chris, 52, who has been the general manager of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins since 2016, after a 16-year run in the Dolphins’ scouting department. Most recently a hockey operations adviser for the New York Rangers, Grier won’t have more than a moment to celebrate.
