Nate Colbert held the San Diego Padres' career record for home runs for half a century.
Until Tuesday night.
Manny Machado hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning, his 164th long ball with the Padres, to break the mark Colbert set between 1969-74 and lead San Diego to a 7-3 victory against thehost Seattle Mariners.
The mark came in Machado's 794th game with the franchise.
