Manny Machado Becomes Padres All-Time Home Run Leader 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Sep 11, 2024 12:53 pm

Manny Machado became the San Diego Padres franchise leader in home runs with a two-run shot in the sixth inning on Tuesday night.

Machado (164 home runs with the club) broke Nate Colbert\'s long-standing franchise record. Colbert, who passed away last January, was an original Padre who joined the franchise in the 1968 expansion draft.

His 164 homers are the fewest by a franchise leader across baseball. Luis Gonzalez\'s 224 home runs for the Arizona Diamondbacks are the second fewest by a franchise leader.
