Drugmaker Teva announced Tuesday that it has agreed to contribute more than $4.3 billion in cash and medications to settle lawsuits in the state and local governments and Native American tribes that claimed the company contributed to the U.S. opioid epidemic.

Despite their warts, the Phillies believe they can be a tough playoff team. It isn’t a delusional notion. They have two frontline starting pitchers, and well, anything can -- and often does -- happen in a short series.

Nolan Jones hit a three-run homer, fellow rookie Steven Kwan had three hits and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Red Sox 8-3. That spoiled Boston’s celebration for newly minted Hall of Famer David Ortiz. Minutes after the Cooperstown inductee proclaimed himself a good luck charm for his slumping former team, the Red Sox fell behind 5-0 on their way to a sixth loss in seven games. They have lost 14 of their last 18 to fall into last place in the AL East. Bryan Shaw made his first start after a record 732 relief appearances and Austin Hedges homered for Cleveland. The Guardians snapped a three-game losing streak.

TORONTO — In the first half of the season, the Cardinals showed they could win in a variety of ways, but best of all when they got a stout start from a pitcher and some muscle from the lineup.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Druw Jones, the No. 2 pick in last week’s amateur draft, was sent for an MRI after injuring his shoulder during his first batting practice with the team Monday. The Arizona Republic reported Tuesday that Jones, son of 10-time Gold Glove Award winner Andruw Jones, felt a tweak in his left, non-throwing shoulder during a batting practice round at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale, Arizona. The team was awaiting results from an MRI. If Jones requires surgery, it’s unlikely he’d be able to return before end of the minor league season in September.
