Machado homered in three straight at-bats during the first three innings of Sunday's 10-2 thrashing of the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

He went 0-for-3 the rest of the day, but that may have simply been an act of mercy on Machado's part. His seven RBI set a new single-game career high while he became just the second player in MLB history to hit home runs in each of the first three innings of a game, the first being Carl Reynolds of the White Sox back in 1930.

Machado went 3-for-5 with two RBI and scored a run in Friday's win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Machado's two-run double in the third inning was his 32nd two-bagger of the year, which is good for second in the majors only behind David Ortiz's 36 doubles. The third baseman went 20-for-98 (.204) in a dreadful July that dropped his overall average 27 points, from .330 to .303. But he's jumped out on the right foot in August, going 6-for-17 with a pair of doubles through the first four games of the month. In Machado's four-year career, he owns a .296/.333/.454 slash line in August, so it's fair to expect his game will get back on track in the coming weeks.

Machado went 1-for-2 with a solo homer, two walks and three runs in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

The young slugger represented a significant portion of the Orioles' offense on the night and was a constant thorn in the side of Indians pitching. Machado's 388-foot blast to right center in the eighth brought Baltimore within one, but Roberto Osuna was able to slam the door on them in the ninth. It was the second round-tripper in the last three games for Machado, who's also hit safely in eight of his last nine contests.

Machado sent 2-for-2 with a solo homer, two walks and two runs in Friday's 5-1 victory over the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old slugger went deep for the first time since July 5, and drove in only his fifth RBI of July. Machado has only slashed .219/.292/.328 in 64 at-bats this month, but is still hitting .314 on the season, with 20 homers and 55 RBI.

Machado (illness) is back in action Thursday, manning third base and hitting third against the Yankees, the Baltimore Sun's Eduardo Encina reports.

EDGE Analysis

He missed Wednesday's game with the ailment, but it was apparently minor, as he's back in his usual spot Thursday. Machado is having an MVP-caliber season, and should be deployed in all formats.

Machado is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is Machado's first game off since June 22 against the Padres. The 24-year-old has been in a slump since the All-Star break, going just 2-for-17 with five strikeouts in five games. Ryan Flaherty will start at third base in his place.

Machado homered and walked in a 1-for-4 game with three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Machado is now back atop the shortstop home run leaderboard, tied with Trevor Story with 19. He also leads the position with 53 RBI and ranks second in runs (59) and batting average (.324). Machado's OPS is up to .970 thanks to Tuesday's effort and he will be in the running for MVP if he can sustain this performance through the second half of the season.

Machado went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old superstar plated Adam Jones in the eighth with two out to notch at least one RBI for his fourth straight game. Machado also extended his hitting streak to 10 games, and made it four straight contests with multi-hit efforts, a feat he's accomplished in nine of his last 10 as well. Machado is putting together an MVP-caliber season and closes out June with a jaw-dropping .370/.396/.600 line over 100 at-bats that included eight doubles, five homers, 21 RBI and 20 runs.

Machado went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, two runs and three RBI Wednesday at the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Machado drove in his first run on a single, which was part of a four-run fourth inning, and he later belted a ground-rule double to plate two more runs to extend the Orioles lead to 9-3, helping them to an easy victory. He's been absolutely on fire lately, as he's gone 23-for-40 over his last nine starts to raise his slash line to .332/.390/.611.

Machado went 3-for-5 with a double, three runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's 12-5 blowout over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Each of the first six hitters in the O's lineup collected at least two hits, one run and one RBI, and as usual Machado was right in the thick of the action. He's now banged out eight hits in four games since returning from his suspension, pushing his slash line on the season to .325/.384/.609.
