Manny Machado hits a 3-run homer in 10th and has 5 RBIs as Padres beat Rangers 6-4

Machado finished with five RBIs as San Diego improved to 25-2 when scoring at least five runs.

  • On Saturday, June 20, 2026, Manny Machado hit a 408-foot, three-run homer in the 10th inning, lifting the San Diego Padres to a 6-4 victory over the Texas Rangers in Arlington.
