By Karl Rasmussen
Manny Machado is looking to prove that despite not making the All-Star team, he's worth the enormous contract the Padres handed him this offseason. Well, the third baseman thought he had slugged his 24th home run of the year, but Ronald Acuña Jr. had other thoughts. The All-Star outfielder chased down the ball and leaped up to make a spectacular robbery.
