Padres star third baseman Manny Machado, who recently criticized some of Major League Baseball's new rules, went down as the first player to commit a pitch clock violation. Machado was not in the batter's box and ready to face Mariners starter Robbie Ray within eight seconds, and the umpire called timeout and assessed a first strike on Machado's count.The Padres scored two runs in the eighth but could not complete the comeback.
Justin Foscue's homer in the seventh helped the Rangers come back from a 5-3 deficit. The Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino and recent Texas signing Robbie Grossman also homered.
