BOSTON (AP) — Padres third baseman — and San Diego FC part-owner — Manny Machado is making his case to move from the baseball diamond to the soccer pitch.
Machado kicked aside a pickoff attempt to help the Padres score two runs as they rallied from a four-run deficit on their way to an 8-6 victory over the Red Sox on Sunday. The error charged to Boston catcher Carlos Narváez moved up two runners who eventually scored, and Machado’s three-run homer in the next inning gave San Diego a 6-4 lead.
