San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado debuted in 2012 to considerable hype—and he has, for the most part, lived up to it.
Machado singled Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks for his 2,000th hit, becoming the 298th member of that club. He is up to 950 career hits with the Padres, to go with 977 on the Baltimore Orioles and 36 in a brief stint with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
