Manny Machado etched his name in the history books as he reached a career milestone of 2,000 hits during the San Diego Padres' matchup against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Achieving this historic feat with an infield single in the fourth inning, Machado became the 295th player to hit this mark in MLB history, needing just 1,825 games to reach it.

This season has been a remarkable one for Machado, who also celebrated his 350th career home run last month and scored his 1,000th run in April. His blend of offensive prowess and defensive skill has earned him seven All-Star selections and numerous accolades, solidifying his status as one of the premier third basemen in the league.
