Padres star third baseman Manny Machado, who
recently criticized some of Major League Baseball's new rules,
went down as the first player to commit a pitch clock violation.
Machado was not in the batter's box and ready to face Mariners
starter Robbie Ray within eight seconds, and the umpire called
timeout and assessed a first strike on Machado's count.
Machado went on to reach base on a single in that at-bat.
The Padres scored two runs in the eighth but could not complete
the comeback. Reserve shortstop Jackson Merrill went 3-for-3
with a run for San Diego.
Royals 6, Rangers 5
Tucker Bradley smacked a walk-off solo home run on the first
pitch of the bottom of the ninth to deliver Kansas City a win
over Texas in Surprise, Ariz.
Justin Foscue's homer in the seventh helped the Rangers come
back from a 5-3 deficit. The Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino and
recent Texas signing Robbie Grossman also homered.
