Padres' Machado Sparks Viral Moment, Musgrove's Injury Update

0:00On April 6, the San Diego Padres pulled off a comeback win against the Boston Red Sox, 8-6 on Sunday, grabbing their first series victory of the 20-26 season. Many Machado and Jackson Meryl smashed go-ahead home runs, and the bullpen mostly shut things down, despite one rough outing. That puts the Padres at four wins and five losses, heading into their next match-up. Earlier in the game, Machado sparked a viral moment during a pick-off play. The Red Sox catcher fired a throw low, Machado collided with it, kicking the ball into foul territory, and letting both him and Meryl advance a base. Machado brushed it off after the game, saying he was just trying to dodge the ball. He explained, starting low with the base, jumping up as it came in, and his foot accidentally making contact on the way down. Shifting gears to the injury front, Jill Musgrove shared a cautious update on his Tommy John recovery. He hit a setback this spring, and is only in the early stages of a basic throwing program, nowhere near Mountwork or return anytime soon.
