Manny Machado Delivers Clutch Home Run in Win
Manny Machado helped lead the team to a 2-1 win over the Atlanta Braves on Friday with a huge home run in the ninth inning. Machado came up in a 1-1 tie and drove a Raisel Iglesias pitch 422 feet for what proved to be the game-winning shot. He added a single earlier in the night to finish 2-for-4. The home run snapped a 16-game drought for Machado, who has slumped over the past week. However, the 32-year-old has enjoyed yet another effective campaign overall thus far, having slashed .309/.376/.459 with four homers, 21 RBI, and seven stolen bases over 202 plate appearances. He'll face Braves righty Grant Holmes on Saturday.
