3 years agoSan Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado, who went 2-for-4 with a home run on Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, is continuing his stellar season in August. The 29-year-old All-Star is slashing .379/.419/.724 over his last seven games. On the year, Machado is batting .286 with 21 homers, 77 RBI and 70 runs scored with nine stolen bases, rewarding fantasy managers and making him a potential MVP candidate in the National League. The Padres face Arizona left-hander Madison Bumgarner on Sunday.--Josh Friedman
