LOS ANGELES (AP) â Manny Machado has stepped into trouble again http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/myles-gar...ett-jer sey , causing at least one opponent to call him âa dirty player.âBoth benches cleared after the Los Angeles Dodgersâ star shortstop clipped the back leg of Milwaukee first baseman Jesus Aguilar while running out his groundout Tuesday night in the 10th inning of Game 4 of the NL Championship Series.Aguilar left his foot on the base for a moment after Machado was already out, and the star shortstop appeared to show his displeasure by bringing his left foot forward and kicking Aguilar on the back of the leg.The incident immediately took the top spot on the growing list of Machadoâs debatable decisions in baseball ethics.âHeâs a player that has a history of those types of incidents,â Milwaukee slugger Christian Yelich said. âOne time is an accident. Repeated over and over and over again, youâre just a dirty player. Itâs a dirty play by a dirty player, and thatâs what it is. I have a lot of respect for him as a player, but you canât respect someone who plays the game like that.âAguilar wasnât hurt, but he was angry. Dodgers first base coach George Lombard joined the discussion before players spilled onto the field from both benches and bullpens.âI was trying to get over him and hit his foot,â Machado said. âIf thatâs dirty, thatâs dirty. I donât know. Call it what you want.âNothing happened beyond that spirited argument, and the two principals made up after Machado singled in the 13th inning. He briefly hugged Aguilar while they stood together at first base.âWeâre family. Things happen,â said Machado, who scored the winning run moments later. âEverything that happens on the field stays on the field. Heâs a great guy. We go way back since the minor leagues. So itâs just a friendly game, go out, try and compete here. Weâre trying to win. Heâs trying to do whatever he can to help his team over there, and weâre doing the same over here.âThe rest of the Brewers didnât appear to be quite as forgiving. Infielder Travis Shaw also called it dirty, and Yelich followed up his postgame criticism of Machado by yelling a profane epithet as he walked away from his locker.âThe play at first today is a pretty dirty play,â Shaw said. âItâs not a mistake. You donât kick somebody like that on accident. You can say it wasnât on purpose, this and that, but itâs a dirty play.Just a few weeks before the 26-year-old Machado likely hits the open market as one of the most desirable free agents in baseball, the big-hitting shortstop has become the latest star to tread the well-worn line between fierce competitors and dirty players.The four-time All-Star also caused controversy Monday in Game 3 with two hard slides into second base while shortstop Orlando Arcia attempted to turn double plays. The second one resulted in a double play for the Brewers after video review .âItâs a beauty pageant Authentic Myles Garrett Jersey ,â Alex Rodriguez said on Fox Sportsâ postgame show. âYou have 30 owners (who) all want you right now. The whole world is watching baseball. You donât want four, five owners to sit around and say, âHey, did you see what Manny did? Did you see that? Oh, yeah, yeah, weâre out. We like him, but now weâre out.â Youâre losing tens of millions of dollars by the second if that becomes the narrative.âMachado already had drawn the ire of ex-players and old-school baseball men from Jim Palmer to Eric Byrnes with his occasional lack of hustle. While Machado has been criticized for not running out grounders and making hustle plays over the years, he also showed heâs got plenty of pep when properly motivated: He sprinted from second to home on Cody Bellingerâs two-out single in the 13th, sticking out his left hand to touch home plate as he beat Yelichâs throw to the plate and slid past Erik Kratzâs tag. Machado didnât run out a grounder in Game 2 of the NLCS , adding to the negative attention in this series. In an interview with Fox Sports 1 that aired before Game 4 , he acknowledged there was âno excuseâ for not making more effort â but also displayed an attitude that wonât endear him to the old school.âIâm not the type of player thatâs going to be Johnny Hustle and run down the line and slide to first base,â Machado said. âThatâs just not my personality. Thatâs not my cup of tea. Thatâs not who I am.âMachado attracted disdain early in the 2017 season with a hard slide into Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia . Machado got his spikes into Pedroiaâs left ankle and knee as he slid over the base, and his Orioles had a testy relationship with the Red Sox for the rest of the season .The Dodgers acquired Machado from Baltimore this season for their playoff push, and to replace injured shortstop Corey Seager. Machado had 37 homers and 107 RBIs in the regular season, and he batted .242 in the first eight games of the postseason.After he got two hits in Game 3, Machadoâs frustration at the plate also probably played a role in his mood in Game 4. His groundout dropped him to 0 for 5 as the Dodgersâ cleanup hitter. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) â Max Kepler saw a lot of pitches Friday night, and it paid off Saturday night.Kepler had three hits, including a two-run homer that put Minnesota ahead to stay, and Jose Berrios threw seven sharp innings to help the Twins to an 8-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals.Kepler went 3 for 3 with a walk and scored twice. He walked three times in Minnesotaâs 6-4 victory in the series opener.âThe more pitches you see in an at-bat Jarvis Landry Jersey Elite , the better you start to see the ball with time, and I think weâre doing that pretty well as a team right now,â he said. âI hit some line drives and ground balls that some nights can be caught. Today, luckily they find holes.âEddie Rosario and Logan Morrison also homered as the Twins won their second straight against the Royals.âWe donât want guys to try to step up and be supermen,â manager Paul Molitor said of his offense coming alive. âItâs just understand that you go out there and bring what you can bring.âBerrios (11-8) retired his first six batters, but had trouble throwing strikes in his middle innings and allowed the Royals to take a 2-1 lead after walking the bases loaded in the third. The All-Star right-hander settled down and remained unbeaten against AL Central opponents this season.âSeven innings didnât look very likely after he gave up those couple, but he got it done,â Molitor said. âAnd thankfully, the bats came alive.âThe Twins regained the lead on Keplerâs homer off Burch Smith (1-3) in the fourth. Rosario added a sacrifice fly in the fifth, and Logan Forsythe and Bobby Wilson each drove in a run in the sixth.âI still felt pretty good,â Smith said. âThey just capitalized on mistakes. I didnât make a pitch, and they hit it. Itâs a good-hitting team.Morrison added his 15th homer in seventh, a towering two-run shot off Glenn Sparkman that traveled an estimated 442 feet before landing in the right-field concourse.SMITHâS STARTSmith was charged with a season-high six runs in five-plus innings in his fifth start of the year. Manager Ned Yost still said Smith threw the ball well.âHe started laboring in the sixth inning after about the 80-pitch mark, 85-pitch mark. Up until that point, I thought he did a good job of keeping us in the game and throwing strikes,â Yost said.DRAKE THE JOURNEYMANMinnesotaâs Addison Reed and Oliver Drake combined for two innings of scoreless relief. Drake, claimed off waivers from Toronto on Friday, set a major league record by pitching for his fifth team this season. He arrived at the ballpark on Saturday afternoon and said he appreciated the chance to get right to work.âI think my catch partner though the whole time has been a fence post back home, so itâs just nice to get back out there playing baseball, throwing to hitters http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/jarvis-la...dry-jer sey , competing,â Drake said.And the record?âItâs definitely cool having all the jerseys,â he said smiling. âThatâs going to be something that looking back itâs going to be a cool collection. I donât know if this is something Iâll brag about, but itâll definitely be a neat story.âTRAINERâS ROOMTwins: Molitor said RHP Aaron Slegers (shoulder) would begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester on Saturday night. ⦠RHP Michael Pineda is scheduled to begin his recovery from Tommy John surgery when he starts his rehab assignment with the Florida Gulf Coast on Monday.JOHANâS CALLThe Twins inducted former ace Johan Santana into the franchiseâs hall of fame in a pregame ceremony. Santana, who won two AL Cy Young Awards during his eight seasons in Minnesota, became the 31st member of the Twins Hall of Fame. For five seasons, from 2003-07, he led the AL in wins (82), strikeouts (1,152), ERA (2.92) and opponent batting average (.212).Surrounded by family and former teammates, Santana was introduced by former teammate Torii Hunter before being presented with a Twins blazer by Rod Carew.âGo chase your dreams, work hard, be passionate about what you do. Have fun and never give up, and good things will happen to you,â Santana told the crowd.UP NEXTRoyals: LHP Danny Duffy (7-9) will make his 24th start of the season Sunday. After posting a 6.88 ERA in his first 10 starts, he has a 3.00 ERA since May 24, the fourth-lowest in the AL in that stretch.Twins: RHP Ervin Santana (0-0) looks to return to his ace form when makes his third start since returning from the 60-day DL after being sidelined by an injured finger. He has allowed a combined eight earned runs in 10 1/3 innings with six strikeouts this season.
