Nicole Hazen, the 45-year-old wife of Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen, died on Thursday. She was a mother to four boys, who had been battling severe brain cancer for over two years, died as a result of disease-related complications. Also read: Jackie Walorski death: Political fraternity mourns, Capitol Hill flags flown at half-staff,The Diamondbacks, based in Phoenix, Arizona, released a message from the Hazens on Twitter shortly after her death. Nicole lived her life and loved her family with fierceness and devotion, the message stated. She spent every day in the service of others as a mother, wife and educator advocating for goodness. From our family, we remain forever grateful for the love, support and random acts of kindness bestowed upon us for the last two years and four months. We would not have been able to walk down this road, with her, without the help and generosity of our community. In 2020, Hazen was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rapidly growing and terminal brain tumour. It’s a malignant brain cancer. That means it comes from a cell in the brain and it never really leaves the brain, vice chair of neurosurgery and director of the Brain Tumor Center at Lenox Hill Hospital, Dr. John Boockvar stated previously in an interview. It stays in the brain, but it spreads throughout the brain, and that’s what makes it universally lethal. So it’s an incurable brain cancer. Also read: Emmy winner, voice of Ursula in The Little Mermaid, Pat Carroll dead at 95,In their statement, Hazen's family explained, Glioblastoma slowly took her capacity to speak, walk, talk and lead but never took her capacity to love her children, family and friends. We are lost without her but will carry the torch of her unyielding empathy for everyone forward, from this day onward. Following her diagnosis, she formed the Nicole Hazen Fund For Hope, with the stated objective of providing more patients with aggressive brain tumors access to rapid, state-of-the-art treatment as well as compassionate support throughout the entire journey. In her memory, the nonprofit will continue. The Diamondbacks' owner, Ken Kendrick, and president, Derrick Hall, both issued statements on Thursday. Also read: Nichelle Nichols death: Star Trek team mourn her passing,“Nicole was a beloved member of the D-Backs’ family, and we are saddened by her passing,” the statement read. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Mike, (their sons) Charlie, John, Teddy, Sam and their entire extended family. Nicole will be remembered for her vibrance, kindness, and a beautiful smile that could light up a room. Her fighting spirit was evident in every step of her courageous journey and in her efforts to make an impact on research and treatment, while providing future hope to those who receive a similar diagnosis. She will forever be remembered and honored.”

Last-placed Texas Rangers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-5 on Wednesday to match a season-high form and record their fourth straight win in Major League Baseball. ,Nathaniel Lowe smacked three hits while Jose Trevino drove in three runs for the Rangers. The Texas side have matched a run from June 25-29, with both streaks coming on the road, where the Rangers are 20-51. After the loss, Arizona fell a season-low 50 games under .500 at 45-95. They have lost five straight, all at home, and 10 of 11 overall. In the sixth inning, a scoreless pitch from Jharel Cotton (1-0) sealed the win for Texas. Joe Barlow, the eighth Rangers pitcher, got the last out for his fourth save. ALSO READ | MLB: Derek Jeter, Larry Walker lead the way into Baseball Hall of Fame,With his ninth home run, David Peralta led off the second inning for Arizona. Following that, Henry Ramos led off with a single to left, moved up on an infield out, and scored on Daulton Varsho's double off left fielder DJ Peters' glove. Luke Weaver (3-4) struck out the first nine Rangers players he faced, but Texas scored three runs in the fourth inning despite bringing nine runners to the plate. Leody Taveras, who turned 23 on Wednesday, led up the fourth inning with a triple to the 413-foot marker in centre and later scored on Isaiah Kiner-third-inning Falefa's bouncer. Lowe added an RBI triple and came home on an infield grounder by Nick Solak. ALSO READ | MLB: New York Mets place acting GM Zack Scott on paid leave after DUI charges,Weaver knocked out pitcher Kohei Arihara on a curveball after Texas loaded the bases. In the first three innings, Weaver threw 36 pitches, and in the fourth, he threw 33. With two runs in the sixth inning and three in the eighth, the Rangers piled on the pressure on the bullpen. In the sixth, pinch-hitter Yohel Pozo produced an RBI double, then Trevino drove in two runs with a single in the eighth. Nick Ahmed of Arizona blasted his sixth home run in the ninth inning against DeMarcus Evans. Both Arihara and Weaver were making their comeback appearances after lengthy layoffs. Arihara was forced to sit out the first half of the season due to an injury to his right finger, and subsequently underwent surgery to repair an aneurysm in his throwing shoulder. After playing for the Hokkaido Nippon Ham-Fighters of Japan's Pacific League for six years, the 29-year-old right-hander is in his debut MLB season. In his tenth start, Arihara allowed four hits and two runs over four innings. Weaver was out for more than three months due to a right shoulder injury. He pitched five innings and gave up four hits and three runs while striking out four batters. In his most recent start, he limited San Diego to one run over six innings in a Diamondbacks victory.

MLB: Six-run third inning from Arizona Diamondbacks secures win over San Diego Padres

Pittsburgh, PA, USA

Another sticky substance scandal hits MLB as Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Caleb Smith has been suspended for 10 games and fined an undisclosed amount for having a foreign substance on his glove during a game last week.,Smith's suspension is the second of its kind this season as Major League Baseball continues to crack down on pitchers for using sticky substances to get a better grip on the ball. Earlier, Seattle Mariners' Hector Santiago was suspended for 10 games in June. The ban was upheld after an appeal.,Smith has also appealed his suspension, which was scheduled to begin when the Diamondbacks played against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday.,For me, of course I am frustrated. I am hurt when the player hurts. That is how I wear it. I am emotionally attached to these guys. With Caleb, I think he is extremely frustrated. He is frustrated because he's been accused of some wrongdoing that he thinks is not justified. That's why I think he wants to appeal. He wants to be heard. He wants to get his story out there, Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo was quoted by AP as saying.,Lovullo said he did not know when the appeal would take place.,Smith had his glove confiscated after he came off the field in the eighth inning against the Philadelphia Phillies last Wednesday and was ejected. The Diamondbacks will not be able to fill his spot on the 26-man roster during the suspension.,All pitchers are being checked by umpires during games for illicit grip aids since the crackdown started on June 21.,The 30-year-old Smith is in his fifth big league season with his third team. The left-hander is 4-8 with a 5.20 ERA this season, his second with Arizona after being traded by Miami last year. He also pitched for the New York Yankees.
