Cardinals Game 1 starter Miles Mikolas said his cup adjust gesture mimicking Nationals outfielder Juan Soto was 'good-natured'

ST. LOUIS -- Washington Nationals 20-year-old sophomore sensation Juan Soto has made headlines all season with his prolific production at the plate, but his between-pitch antics when he often grabs his crotch has become a topic of discussion as well.

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Miles Mikolas decided to give Soto a little taste of his own medicine.

In a crucial at-bat with the bases loaded and two outs in the top of the fifth in Game 1 of the NLCS, Mikolas got Soto to ground out to first base and waited near the first-base line as Soto handed his gear to his first-base coach.
