Machado Has 4-Hit Game, King Fans 6 in 6 Innings as the Padres Beat the Reds 5-0
On Monday, Manny Machado tallied four hits and Michael King struck out six over six innings, leading the San Diego Padres to a 5-0 shutout victory against the Cincinnati Reds in Cincinnati.
The victory snapped a three-game losing streak for the Padres, who recently suffered a sweep at Tampa Bay, and moved the team into a tie with Arizona for the third wild-card spot.
San Diego broke a scoreless tie in the fourth with six consecutive hits, including a two-run double by Xander Bogaerts, while King extended his scoreless innings streak to 15 2/3 innings with his fifth consecutive quality start.
Heat exhaustion forced home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez to leave the game in the fifth inning at 90 degrees and 61% humidity, causing a 14-minute delay before D.J. Reyburn assumed duties behind the plate.
