Manny Machado Leads The Way With Five RBI On Saturday
5 months agoSan Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado went 2-for-5 with two long balls and five RBI on Saturday to lead the Padres to a victory. Machado hit a two-run shot in the third frame that scored Luis Arraez. Then, in the fifth, Machado hit a three-run blast that scored Jurickson Profar and Jake Cronenworth. The 31-year-old now sits with a .268/.319/.411 slash line with 10 home runs, 45 RBI, five stolen bases, and a 23:69 BB:K ratio. Machado should be expected to continue to be a top option at the hot corner for the remainder of the summer and have several prime RBI opportunities every game batting in the clean-up spot of a strong Padres lineup.
