San Diego Padres manager Mike Schildt defended third baseman Manny Machado amid criticism from the Los Angeles Dodgers after he threw a ball toward their dugout during warmups prior to the bottom of the sixth inning in Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Sunday.
"I don't think there was any intent at all with that. Manny has exceptional arm talent. I think he proved that on the triple play," Shildt said, per Dennis Lin of The Athletic. Shildt was referring to the triple play Machado started on Sept.
