MIAMI -- Nationals phenom Juan Soto continued his record-setting start to his career by swatting a solo home run into the upper deck of right field during the second inning at Marlins Park on Friday night. It was his 13th home run of the season, which matches Mickey Mantle for the sixth-most home runs by a teenager in MLB history.
Soto's latest home run was a laser off Marlins right-hander Pablo Lopez that traveled 420 feet and came off the bat at 104.3 mph -- according to Statcast™ -- to put the Nats ahead 2-0.
