San Diego Padres slugger Manny Machado belted his 300th career home run Saturday to continue his July power surge in a loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Machado\'s homer off Matt Strahm (6-3) to lead off the eighth inning in Game 1 of Saturday\'s doubleheader put the Padres up 4-3 in a game that they eventually lost 6-4. It was Machado\'s eighth home run of the month and his fourth in the past three games.
\"What he\'s done in the last couple of weeks has been pretty torrid,\" Padres manager Bob Melvin said.
