Pedroia, Sox unified after Machado incident
Manny Machado sees inside pitches from Eduardo Rodriguez and Matt Barnes, then responds with an RBI double in the bottom of the 8thBOSTON -- The Red Sox portrayed a unified front on Tuesday, a couple of days after some controversy in Baltimore when Matt Barnes threw one high and tight to Manny Machado and subsequently received a four-game suspension.
Machado injured Dustin Pedroia with a hard slide on Friday night at Camden Yards. Right after Sunday's pitch by Barnes, which was near Machado's head area, Pedroia was seen on camera telling Baltimore's star third baseman that it was not his idea.
