Orioles third baseman Manny Machado has been hot over the last few weeks, riding a nine-game hitting streak into Wednesday's action. The only thing missing from his game was a bit of over-the-fence power, which he provided as he extended that streak to 10 games in an 8-2 loss to the Mariners.
Machado hit his third home run of the season -- and first since April 20 -- as part of a 2-for-4 game. His home run was of the solo variety, as he ended the game with one RBI as well as two runs scored. He added a double, his sixth in the last six games.
Machado is now batting .311 on the season, with three home runs and 17 RBI. He has a .349 on-base percentage and .504 slugging percentage.
