{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Machado and the Padres were down one run in the bottom of the fourth inning and had a runner on first Tuesday when he came up to bat against Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias. The star third baseman looked like he was bringing down rain with a moonshot to left field at Petco Park.
Pollock tracked the ball to as far to left field as he could go and stole the ball away from fans who were looking to take home a souvenir.
