Padres’ Manny Machado destroys coolers in dugout meltdown vs Brewers
https://www.foxnews.com/sports/padres-manny-machado-destroys-coolers-dugout-meltdown-brewersThe coolers in the San Diego Padres dugout were out of commission in the top of the seventh inning Sunday after third baseman Manny Machado took out his frustrations on them with his bat.
Machado found himself in a prime position to get his Padres, who have struggled mightily to reach their high expectations this season, back into the game against the Milwaukee Brewers on the road. The Brewers had just put up seven runs in the bottom of the sixth to take a 9-4 lead, so runs were needed.
The Padres scored two runs to make it 9-6 thanks to some poor pitching by Brewers reliever Abner Uribe, who was ultimately taken out for Hoby Milner with runners on second and third and nobody out.
Juan Soto popped out to shortstop Willy Adames, which led to Machado in the box. Machado, though, had the same fate as his teammate before him: Popping out in a big spot. Carlos Santana secured the out at first base, and Machado walked back into the dugout in disgust with his at-bat.
Talk about a meltdown.
