Manny Machado isn't content with only having two Gold Glove awards, apparently.

In the bottom of the seventh inning Sunday at Yankee Stadium, the Baltimore Orioles' crazy talented third baseman bolstered his case for a third, corralling a Ronald Torreyes grounder down the line with a diving stab before uncorking a more impressive throw from his knee to get the out at first.

Machado, a three-time All-Star, leads all American League third basemen in defensive runs saved since his 2012 debut, and is tied for first at his position in UZR/150 (14.4) this year (min. 700 innings played).
