Manny Machado's Hidden Ball Trick Results in Balk, Padres Still Win

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado attempted a hidden-ball trick against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, but it was ruled a balk because pitcher Wandy Peralta was on the rubber when Machado tagged the runner, Jarren Duran. This miscue allowed Duran to score, giving the Red Sox a 2-1 lead in the third inning. Despite the unconventional play and its immediate cost, Padres manager Mike Shildt praised Machado's baseball IQ, and San Diego ultimately secured a 5-4 walk-off victory in 10 innings.
