Manny Machado tied his career high with five hits, capped by a two-run homer, as the San Diego Padres opened their home season with a 12-1 rout of the defending World Series champion Atlanta Braves on Thursday.
Machado went 5-for-6 with four runs and two stolen bases. He flied out to center in the eighth while attempting to tie the Padres record of six hits in a game. Machado's only other five-hit game came on July 7, 2014, against the Washington Nationals while playing for the Baltimore Orioles.
Right-hander Joe Musgrove (1-0) worked 6 2/3 shutout innings, allowing four hits with no walks and six strikeouts.
