Chad Smith appointed as new CEO of Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Chad Smith, the chief executive of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, will leave his post this fall to become president and chief executive of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Smith's departure is a significant loss for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, which is still reeling from the announcement in February that its superstar maestro, Gustavo Dudamel, would leave in 2026 to become the next music director of the New York Philharmonic. Smith will take the helm of the Boston Symphony at a time of tumult and division, and he said he would work to bring stability to the orchestra and to help it rethink its identity and mission.

MLB pitcher's first career win aided by unusual scoring rule.

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Chad Smith received his first career win thanks to an official scoring rule that allowed him to be credited with the win instead of Jeurys Familia, who was deemed to have a short, ineffective outing. Smith pitched the final two innings of the game against the Baltimore Orioles, holding them scoreless and allowing only one hit. The Athletics won the game 8-4. Smith was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas and was traded to the Athletics from the Colorado Rockies in December.

Chad Smith earns first career win with help from obscure rule, Orioles fall to Athletics.

Oakland Athletics' reliever Chad Smith picked up his first major league win after an official scoring rule was applied. Smith pitched the final two innings of the Athletics' 8-4 victory over Baltimore, holding the Orioles scoreless and allowing only one hit. The official scorer chose not to give Jeurys Familia the win, who was in the game when Oakland took the lead for good, because he was deemed to have had a short, ineffective outing. Rule 9.17 (c) states that the official scorer shall credit as the winning pitcher the succeeding relief pitcher who was most effective.
