Manny Machado's costly error in 7-1 loss to Mets was unexpected and detrimental.
The San Diego Padres have been tasked with playing perfect baseball given the 4.5-game lead the Los Angeles Dodgers have in the National League West division race. On Saturday night, Manny Machado made a crucial error in the 7-1 loss to the New York Mets.
The loss wasn't completely Machado's fault and Padres starter Michael King made sure to take responsibility for letting Lindor hit a grand slam off of him.. “And after that, I hit McNeil and let up a grand slam. It’s on me to pick up the team that way, and I didn’t do it.” The unresponsive Padres bats are cause for concern since San Diego will face pitchers exactly like Peterson in the postseason. It is just one game, but at this point in the season, every game counts.
