Machado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a third RBI in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers.
This was Machado's fifth homer of September, and it ended up being all the Padres needed for the win Wednesday. The third baseman has added 13 RBI while batting .200 this month. On the year, he's hitting .218 with a .713 OPS, 29 homers, 87 RBI, 81 runs scored, 22 doubles and five stolen bases. Machado has as many as four games to push for the 30-homer mark, which he hasn't reached since 2023.
