Manny Machado hits a 3-run homer in 10th and has 5 RBIs as Padres beat Rangers 6-4
Machado finished with 5 RBIs as San Diego rallied from a 3-1 deficit and ended Texas’ five-game stretch of losses in six games.
On Saturday, Manny Machado hit a 408-foot, three-run home run in the 10th inning, lifting the San Diego Padres to a 6-4 victory over the Texas Rangers in Arlington.
Texas scratched starter Nathan Eovaldi due to left knee soreness, forcing MacKenzie Gore to start on regular four-day rest instead.
Machado drove in five runs Saturday despite entering the game batting.178, the worst average among 155 qualifying hitters, while reaching 13 home runs and 41 RBIs for the season.
Following Saturday's loss, Wyatt Langford hit a three-run homer and Josh Jung added a go-ahead RBI single on Sunday to lead the Rangers past San Diego 4-3.
The Padres begin a home series against Atlanta on Monday with RHP Grant Holmes, while the Rangers travel to Miami for their series opener with RHP Kumar Rocker.
