Padres third baseman Manny Machado starting All-Star Game for the third time
Manny Machado has two Gold Gloves on his résumé, but none since signing with the Padres in 2019 because the powers that be have not seen enough to end Nolan Arenado’s string of nine straight Gold Gloves.Machado edged Arenado in the final phase of fan voting, the tightest race on both ballots, and will start at third base for the NL at Dodger Stadium on July 19. Machado led Arenado in the initial phase of voting, 2.4 million votes to 1.
Machado homered on Thursday for the first time since sustaining a left ankle injury on June 19 in Colorado. He’d been just 3-for-20 up until that point, but is still tied for the MLB WAR lead with the St. Louis’ Paul Goldschmidt and Boston’s Rafael Devers, as he’s paired 13 homers with a .315/.387/.533 batting line and his typical Gold Glove-caliber defense.“I’m a little biased,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said, “but what he’s done for us, it’s not All-Star stuff, it’s MVP stuff.
This time around, it’s Machado who’s been working to avoid having his left ankle injury force him to the injured list. He missed nine games before returning to the lineup July 30 at Dodger Stadium as a DH and has now started six straight games at third base at a time when the Padres need his bat in the lineup.
“And at the end of the day … the fans want to see me there. I got voted in by the fans, so thank you, thank you for making that happen.‘Pen arms on the rise
