MIAMI -- It did not take long for Luis Sardinas to make an impact for the San Diego Padres.Sardinas homered and drove in four runs for the Padres in a 7-6 loss to the Miami Marlins on Friday night.I thought Luis Sardinas was outstanding, Padres manager Andy Green said. He had the bases-clearing double and the home run.Sardinas, who was 1 for 8 coming in, had a three-run double and a home run -- his third in 115 career games.The more I get into the games the more confidence I can have, Sardinas said through a translator.Chris Johnson took advantage of the Padres outfielders playing shallow with a run-scoring ground-rule double with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to give the Marlins the win.When I hit it I put my head down, I didnt get it all of it and when I was running I kind of saw where they were playing -- a little bit more shallow, obviously to try to throw somebody out at the plate, Johnson said. I was just hoping it would carry enough to get over his head. (Center fielder Travis Jankowski) almost got there. Im just glad he didnt.The Marlins scored three runs in the eighth to tie it before Johnson gave the Marlins their third walk-off win of the season.Its huge for us but also for him and his confidence, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. Hes not getting his at bats and hes been great about it. No pouting or sulking hes just continuing to do the work and I felt good for him and for how hard he works and how hard he wants it.Johnson hit a deep fly ball to right-center field that took one bounce before landing in the Marlins bullpen. Jankowski was playing shallow and converged on the ball, but was unable to make the catch.You kind of pick your poison, you give a guy a double more than you give a guy a single to win the baseball game at that point in time, Padres manager Andy Green said. You can be back on the warning track and try to defend that, but theres not everything you can defend in that outfield. ... Were playing shallow with two strikes and he put a good swing on it and had a pitch he can handle and drove it to the warning track. It was a long run for Jankowski, but he almost got it.Martin Prado, Christian Yelich, and Marcell Ozuna each drove in two runs for the Marlins.Ryan Schimpf also homered for the Padres.Fernando Rodney (2-3) pitched an inning in relief to pick up the win.Brandon Maurer (0-4) blew the save in the eighth and lost it in the ninth, allowing four hits and one run in one inning.San Diego starter Jarred Cosart allowed two runs and five hits over five innings in his first appearance against his former club where he spent parts of the last three seasons. He was traded to San Diego in a seven-player deal involving pitcher Andrew Cashner on July 29.Cosart exited with a 5-2 lead after a blister on his middle finger on his throwing hand emerged.The Marlins scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth to tie the score at 6-6. Maurer relieved Brad Hand and entered with the bases loaded and gave up a two-run single to Prado and an RBI single to Yelich. It was Maurers fifth blown save in 11 chances.Miami starter David Phelps allowed four runs and two hits with three walks in 3 2/3 inningsOzunas RBI double and Yelichs RBI groundout gave the Marlins a 2-0 lead.The Padres took the lead with a four-run fourth keyed by Sardinas bases-clearing double as nine men went to the plate.Two outs there I was just trying to be aggressive in the zone I think was the biggest thing, Sardinas said. Trying to look for a good pitch and make good solid contact. It was a big point in the game at that point.An error by Phelps covering first base on a grounder gave the Padres a 4-2 lead and ended his night.Schimpfs home run, his 15th, into the upper deck in right field pushed the lead to 5-2. His 15 home runs are tied for the fifth-most by a Padres rookie.Sardinas made it 6-2 with a solo homer in the fifth.The Marlins pulled within three on Ozunas RBI single in the seventh.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: RHP Tyson Ross (right shoulder) made a rehab start with Class-A Lake Elsinore on Thursday allowing four runs in 2/3 of an inning. When we look at Tyson the only thing that really matters is health, manager Andy Green said. I dont really read too much into rehab starts. . I think hes going to throw another start in the minor leagues before he pitches for us. ... LHP Christian Friedrich will be skipped in the rotation to give him rest. ... CF Jon Jay (forearm) took swings inside the batting cage on Friday and is eyeing an early September return.UP NEXTPadres: LHP Clayton Richard (0-3, 4.44) will start Saturdays game.

Union head Michael Weiner expects Major League Baseball will notify the union of its plans for penalties in the next month, and the association will maintain any discipline should not be announced until after a grievance hearing, and then only if arbitrator Fredric Horowitz upholds a ban. "Were going to have a discussion with them. That discussion will include whether or not names of suspended players will be announced publicly," Weiner said Tuesday during a meeting with the Baseball Writers Association of America. Former MVPs Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun are among the more than a dozen players under investigation for ties to Biogenesis, a closed anti-aging clinic in Florida linked with the distribution of performance-enhancing drugs. MLB officials have been interviewing players, who have been represented by the union and their own lawyers. A provision in baseballs drug agreement says discipline for first offenders can be announced before a hearing if the penalty results from an allegation that became public other than through MLB or a team. Miami New Times published allegations in January, but the union could argue that a penalty results from evidence baseball has gathered rather than the newspaper account. After MLB and the union decide how to process grievances, hearings will be scheduled before Horowitz -- but not before September and possibly later. Each player is entitled to a separate hearing, and Weiner said the union wants Horowitz to hear all cases. "When all the interviews are done, we will meet with the commissioners office and well try to work something out," Weiner said. "Our players that deserve the suspensions, well try to cope with their suspensions. Our players that dont deserve suspensions, we will argue that they dont deserve a suspension. And I hope we have success. We may not have success on every single player, but I hope we have a fair amount of success." MLB Executive Vice-President Rob Manfred declined comment. Weiner spoke from a wheelchair and said syymptoms have increased in the last month from a brain tumour he was diagnosed with last summer.ddddddddddddHe currently cant move his right side or right arm and must use a wheelchair. Weiner said the union will appoint a deputy executive director within a week or two. Most of his talk was dominated by the drug investigation. While most suspensions have been for positive tests since the joint drug agreement was reached in 2002, players also can be penalized for "just cause," based on other evidence. "In theory, they could be suspended for five games or 500 games," Weiner said. "We could then choose to challenge or not, but the commissioners office is not bound by the 50-100-life scale." If multiple players are disciplined, management and the union would have to decide the order of the grievance hearings. "Theyve got to prove all those cases. I like Dan Halem, a lot, but hes going to be running around like the proverbial chicken with its head cut off," Weiner said, referring to an MLB senior vice-president. "If thats the circumstance, well just have to schedule them and get them done as quickly as we reasonably can. And if we have the number that you suggest, its going to take a while." Weiner said the union has taken the position that players cant be penalized for refusing to answer MLBs questions in the investigation. Arbitrator Raymond Goetz overturned Bowie Kuhns suspension of Ferguson Jenkins in 1980, ruling the pitcher couldnt be penalized for refusing to answer questions while criminal charges were pending in Canada. "Obviously we have looked at Jenkins in connection with this matter and whether or not it would apply, and our conclusion is that it clearly does," Weiner said. Speaking before Weiner in a separate session, baseball Commissioner Bud Selig repeated his call to toughen penalties in the drug agreement for 2014. "Weve heard from a lot of players that increased penalties are called for. Weve heard from a lot of other players that dont think increased penalties are called for," Weiner said. "And I imagine we will work it out at or near in early December and then have a negotiation with them over that very subject." ' ' '
