"It's pretty amazing what's happening," McMahon said after his seven-RBI performance on Friday. "I'm just enjoying the ride and just trying to keep doing what I've been doing. Definitely feeling good with where I'm at with my approach and what I'm doing in the box."
The 22-year-old continued his assault on the PCL on Saturday, going 3-for-5 with a double and two RBIs in Triple-A Albuquerque's 8-4 win over Sacramento at Raley Field.

"I think I just learned a lot about myself early on this year," McMahon said after his 4-for-4 effort on Thursday. "I think I'm consistently being the best version of myself. I'm not missing pitches and stuff like that, not trying to get too big and sticking with my approach."
