Manny Machado went 1-for-5 with a single, an RBI, and a run scored as the Padres fell to the Nationals 7-6 on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Machado is now riding a four-game hitting streak but is hitting just .242 with a .714 OPS to begin the year. His strikeout rate is way up this season so perhaps he's pressing a bit. This could also simply be a case of Machado adjusting to a new league. The good news is his walk rate is also up a bit. Ultimately fantasy owners shouldn't be too worried just yet.
