Manny Machado let his game do the talking. Following some heated back-and-forth theatrics on Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals that caused a second benches-clearing brawl, Machado popped off on Sunday for one of his best performances of the season.
The Padres superstar was hit by a second pitch on Saturday at Busch Stadium, igniting an ugly argument between Machado and Cards' assistant coach Jon Jay, who used to be very close friends with the Friars' third baseman. All eyes were on the Padres-Cardinals on Sunday, as St. Louis was looking to nab the series win in a four-game slate.
