WASHINGTON (AP) — Juan Soto’s latest feat: homering in a game played before he made his major league debut.
Huh?
The 19-year-old Soto delivered a tiebreaking, pinch-hit, two-run shot in the sixth inning of a game that began and was suspended because of rain last month, five days before he was called up from the minors for the first time, to lift the Washington Nationals to a 5-3 victory over the New York Yankees in the opener of an unusual doubleheader Monday.
Game 1 resumed with the score 3-all and the Nationals about to bat in the bottom of the sixth.
