Machado went 3-for-5 with two RBI and scored a run in Friday's win over the White Sox.
Machado's two-run double in the third inning was his 32nd two-bagger of the year, which is good for second in the majors only behind David Ortiz's 36 doubles. The third baseman went 20-for-98 (.204) in a dreadful July that dropped his overall average 27 points, from .330 to .303. But he's jumped out on the right foot in August, going 6-for-17 with a pair of doubles through the first four games of the month. In Machado's four-year career, he owns a .296/.333/.454 slash line in August, so it's fair to expect his game will get back on track in the coming weeks.
