Padres' Manny Machado embraces taking on the Dodgers each matchup.
The San Diego Padres are fresh off a two-game series sweep of the rival Los Angeles Dodgers, giving them the series win over Los Angeles for the first time since 2010. San Diego lowered their deficit in the National League West to just 4.5 games with the victories and they have been on a roll of late.
But the Padres know that to do anything, the Dodgers stand in their way. While the Padres can celebrate the wins over the Dodgers, they know that it's still a long way to go for the rest of the season. Machado has been a catalyst for the Padres this season, hitting .266 with 16 home runs and 58 runs batted in. He came up massive for the Padres in the win over Los Angeles on Tuesday, hitting two home runs.
Padres manager Mike Shildt spoke about taking care of business following the win over the Dodgers on Wednesday.. “It’s been to win the division. We know it’s a tall order and a competitive division, so we’re just going about playing and taking care of our business.”
