Manny Machado went 1-for-4 with his eighth home run of the season against the Royals on Tuesday.
The 21-year-old has done everything besides hit for power this year, but that's a minor gripe given his 39 doubles, three triples and .305 batting average. Still, eight home runs is nothing to sneeze at, and more of those doubles will turn into home runs in time. He's the real deal.

Manny Machado was ejected from Thursday's game against the Indians in the fifth inning for arguing with home plate umpire Will Little.
He evidently thought that he foul-tipped a ball, but Little determined he didn't and said it was strike three. Machado had played every inning since being called up to the majors last August.
