Padres vs Royals: Manny Machado's Stellar Play to Shine at Kauffman Stadium
As the Padres gear up to face the Royals at Kauffman Stadium, all eyes are on Manny Machado, whose recent performances have positioned him as a key player for the Padres. Machado, playing primarily at third base, has shown remarkable consistency and skill that could significantly impact the upcoming game.
