Manny Machado hits well in two seven inning games on Thursday to take over the top slot in the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings. He goes three for four with two home runs in game one, won by the Padres 10-7 over Seattle. In game two, his one for four includes another home run, with Seattle winning that game 8-3. Machado leads the idle Anthony Rendon by four points.

Jose Abreu holds third place as the White Sox were not scheduled to play, and Nelson Cruz holds fourth place as the Twins game is postponed due to protest.

Justin Turner and the Dodgers played, the Dodgers sweeping the Giants in two seven inning shutouts. Turner went 0 for 3 in game one, and was walked and hit by a pitch in game two to retain his fifth place ranking.
