Machado went 4-for-6 with a home run, four RBI and scored twice in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Machado's two-run blast in the top of the first inning Wednesday was his 29th of the year and his seventh in August, matching April for his highest total in a month this season. The 24-year-old third baseman has hit safely in 19 of his last 22 contests, including a current seven-game streak. Machado is now on pace to surpass last season's career-high 35 home runs.
