Machado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Thursday in a 7-6 win against Pittsburgh.

Machado gave San Diego an early lead with his two-run blast to left field in the first inning. The veteran third baseman has at least one hit in nine of his past 10 games and is slashing .381/.400/.810 with five homers, 11 RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base during that stretch. The power surge has pushed him to 18 long balls on the season, but Machado is still on pace to fall short of 30 homers, a mark he's reached each of the previous two campaigns.
