Soto youngest to steal 3 bases, Nats beat hit Braves 7-1

ATLANTA -- Juan Soto shrugged off his latest accomplishment after showing what he can do on the bases.

"I stole three bags, and I helped my team to win," he said. "That's pretty good."

Soto become the youngest player to steal three bases in a game, had an RBI single and scored the tiebreaking run, helping the Nationals stop the Atlanta Braves' season-best, six-game winning streak with a 7-1 victory on Saturday.

Soto hit an RBI single in the first inning and stole second, then walked in the fourth, stole two bases and came home on a bases-loaded walk for a 2-1 lead.
