Machado went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in Monday's 1-0 win over Atlanta.
Machado had the lone extra-base hits for either team in this contest, and his fourth-inning homer off Grant Holmes proved decisive. Over his last 12 games, Machado has shown improvement, going 13-for-47 (.277) with three homers, seven doubles and 10 RBI. The third baseman is still batting just .185 with a .649 OPS, 14 homers, 42 RBI, 36 runs scored, 13 doubles and a stolen base over 75 contests.
