Machado went 3 for 5 with a home run in Monday's loss and his fourth-inning single was his 2,000th career hit. He already has more games played (899 to 860) and home runs (182 to 162) with the Padres than he did with the Baltimore Orioles. Soon he'll have more hits as well (977 to 951). Here is Machado's 2,000th hit:

Manny Machado of the San Diego Padres got his 2,000th career hit Monday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks with a sharp single off the glove of diving shortstop Geraldo Perdomo.

After lining a first-inning single for his 1,999th hit, he produced a 109 mph ground ball in the fourth to capture a piece of history.

Manny Machado has 2,000 career hits. The Padres star accomplished that feat while batting for San Diego against Arizona Monday.

Four days from the All-Star break, Manny Machado still has not taken a game off this year. He has had a handful of “half-days” off. Thursday’s series finale will be one of those days as Machado will serve as the DH for the 6:40 p.

According to Padres broadcaster Mark Grant, as well as many fans, there's no debating the third base spot for the All-Star Game.

"We're good in close games," San Diego manager Mike Shildt said. "We do a lot of things well that allow you to win close games. But it's also legal to win 7-3 or 8-2." The Padres will try to make things a little easier on themselves and their fans when they start a weekend series Friday night against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies.
