Switched from third base to shortstop as a defensive change in the 12th after Ryan Flaherty and J.J. Hardy were subbed out, the 23-year-old Machado muffed his very first fielding chance. He booted a grounder from Eduardo Escobar, who hustled to second base after Machado was late in covering the bag. Two batters later, Escobar scored the decisive run on third baseman Jimmy Paredes' fielding error.
Machado, who also committed an error in the seventh at third base, used plenty of colorful language throughout his postgame media session, starting with an inquiry as to what happened on the play.
