Padres close May in a batting slump, fall 4-2 to Nationals

San Diego wrapped up May with a 4-2 loss to Washington, extending a late-season skid (six losses in seven games) as the offense remains scuffling with a .218 team batting average and a .658 OPS. Manny Machado called the day “extremely frustrating” after the Padres only mustered two runs on six-plus innings against a Nationals bullpen. Griffin Canning yielded two homers and took the loss, while San Diego’s late surge in the seventh wasn’t enough to salvage the series. The Padres head to June six games over .500 and face a road test at Philadelphia as they try to reignite their bats.

May Brings the Milky Way Core into Sharp View for Stargazers

Space.com says May offers the best window to spot the Milky Way’s glowing core, especially around the May 16 new moon when skies are darkest. Peak visibility runs from midnight to dawn in dark-sky southern skies, with the core arching through Aquila, Scutum, Sagittarius and Scorpius. For best results, head to a dark location away from light pollution and use astronomy apps (e.g., Stellarium, Sky Safari) to plan, and consider astrophotography tips to capture the galaxy’s core.

Powell Likely to Stay at the Fed After Trump’s Push

Powell’s term as Fed chair ends in May, but he can remain on the Fed board through 2028. Despite Trump’s attempt to push him out, a DOJ probe may actually increase Powell’s motivation to stay, preserving the central bank’s independence. Any replacement would require Senate confirmation, and if a chair isn’t confirmed by Powell’s departure, the Fed board could appoint a temporary chair. The outcome hinges on who Trump would nominate and the Senate’s actions.

Inflation Cools as Fed's Preferred Gauge Shows Signs of Price Increases Slowing

The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, showed its biggest monthly increase since May, indicating rising inflationary pressures. The PCE price index rose by 0.6% in November, surpassing expectations, driven by higher energy prices and supply chain disruptions. This data suggests that inflation remains a concern for the central bank as it continues to monitor economic conditions and consider its monetary policy approach.
