3 years agoSan Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs Friday against the Colorado Rockies. Machado was the only semblance of offense for the Friars in a 9-4 blowout loss. The 29-year-old continues his blistering hot streak, totalling a 1.174 OPS in July with eight homers. Overall, he carries a sturdy .283/.359/.524 slash with 20 dingers, nine steals and 139 runs-plus-RBI. Pocketing his seventh season with 20-plus homers, the Padres will need Machado to continue his offensive tirade to make the playoffs in a competitive NL West. Fantasy managers need not worry about his spot in starting lineups.--Andrew Le - RotoBaller
