High-spending Padres eliminated despite 3-2 win over White Sox

CHICAGO (AP) — The San Diego Padres will spend the offseason wondering what went wrong.The high-spending Padres were eliminated from postseason contention on Friday night despite a 3-2 win over the Chicago White Sox, a finality that promoted Manny Machado to give teammates a postgame pep talk.“We did what we were supposed to do, but a little too late,” Machado said. “We’re going to grow from this. … We’re capable of playing better baseball than we did this year.”Juan Soto was batting in the seventh inning when the Miami Marlins completed a 4-3 come-from-behind win at Pittsburgh for their 83rd win, ensuring the Padres would not get one of the NL’s three wild-card berths.Despite winning 12 of their last 14 games, the Padres (80-80) could not overcome a mostly sluggish performance by a star-filled team that started the season with the major leagues’ third-highest payroll at nearly $258 million. A 1-9 skid in early May dropped Padres below .500 — San Diego last had a winning recor...

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Miami Marlins arrived in Pittsburgh bleary-eyed. There’s an increasingly good chance they’ll leave it a playoff team.Josh Bell’s two-run double keyed a four-run, eighth-inning rally and the surprising Marlins moved closer to a postseason berth with a 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.“I don’t even know what to say,” first-year manager Skip Schumaker explained. “Those games happen, it feels like every other day. And it’s just fun to watch.”Exhausting too.Miami’s magic number to earn the third and final wild-card spot in the National League fell to one when it surged past the Pirates and the Chicago Cubs fell in Milwaukee in 10 innings.Heady territory for a club that hasn’t reached the playoffs in a 162-game season since beating the New York Yankees in the 2003 World Series, when most of the current roster was in elementary school or younger.Two decades of losing and irrelevance have followed. That may b...

Federal judge won’t block Medicare from negotiating drug prices

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 11:22:33 GMT

(CNN) — A federal court judge in Ohio denied Friday an attempt by the US Chamber of Commerce to immediately stop the Biden administration’s implementation of Medicare’s new drug price negotiation program.The ruling was the first time a federal court has weighed in on the multiple lawsuits filed against the controversial program.The chamber filed a lawsuit in June arguing that allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices is unconstitutional for several reasons. It then asked for a preliminary injunction to halt the program by October 1, when drug makers have to agree to participate in the program.“As to Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction, they have demonstrated neither a strong likelihood of success nor irreparable harm,” wrote Judge Michael Newman of the US District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, in Dayton.“Any economic harm — which, on its own, is insufficient to satisfy this prong of a preliminary injunction analysis — will not occur for years in the futu...
