Juan Soto responds to getting hit by pitch with 462-foot home run

A day after Braves relief pitcher Will Smith hit Nationals star Juan Soto with a pitch, Soto got his sweet revenge.

Soto got everything behind this 462-foot bomb, sending it to right-center field and past the wall on Wednesday night to give Washington the 3-2 lead at the top of the seventh inning.

After rounding the bases and high-fiving first baseman Josh Bell, who also notched his 25th home run of the season earlier against the Braves, Soto blew a kiss in the direction of the Braves bullpen.
