WASHINGTON -- Juan Soto just keeps hitting home runs.
Making his first start for the Washington Nationals on Monday night, the 19-year-old outfielder went deep in his first at-bat against San Diego Padres starter Robbie Erlin. The three-run opposite-field shot came on the first pitch from Erlin and traveled an estimated 422 feet before landing over the wall in left-center.
Upon returning to the dugout, Soto received a curtain call from the crowd at Nationals Park.
Before getting called up this past weekend, Soto was hitting .362 with 14 homers in 39 minor league games across three levels.
