Orioles third baseman Manny Machado is one of baseball's top defensive players, but he has found himself in a rut recently, committing his eighth error of the season in Tuesday night's loss.
Machado made just nine errors in 82 games last season, but is in a stretch of 19 games where he had committed eight miscues, many of them on errant throws. Five of his errors have come in the eighth inning or later, per MASNSports.com.
"It's not turning out like it's supposed to be," Machado said. "Keep grinding, keep catching those grounders and keep making those throws."
