Manny Machado has become public enemy No. 1 in the eyes of Boston Red Sox fans.
If it wasn’t his questionable slide that spiked Dustin Pedroia or his profanity laced tirade complaining about almost being hit by a pitch, now Red Sox fans have Machado’s home run trot to be steamed about.
The Baltimore Orioles third baseman blasted a three-run shot off of Kyle Kendrick in the fourth inning to break a 3-3 tie, drawing boos from the Fenway crowd. It wasn’t just about the O’s taking the lead or the fact that it was Machado’s third homer in a series where he abused Red Sox pitching.
