After Miller Park greeted him with boos throughout the entirety of Game 6, Manny Machado laid down a bunt and hustled down the line for a base hit in his first at-bat in Game 7 on Saturday.
Upon reaching base safely, Machado turned to the jeering crowd and seemed to grab his crotch. After the shortstop had returned to the dugout, scoring on a Cody Bellinger home run, Yasiel Puig roped a double down the right-field line and engaged in a celebratory pelvic thrust with Machado.

Machado garnered criticism after clipping the ankle of Jesus Aguilar on a routine groundout during Game 4. The 26-year-old was reportedly fined $10,000 for the infraction.
