Juan Soto hit his bases-loaded, game-tying sac fly to center field in Nationals Park to the warning track, but he didn’t get all of the 92 MPH fastball Boston Red Sox’ lefty Austin Davis threw him. Did he think he’d hit it out on contact? Or what was he thinking as he watched it fly out to center?
“I just thought, “He’s lucky,” Soto said. Davis got away with one.
“I mean, I hit it pretty good,” Soto added. “Just a little bit too high and maybe a little bit up on my barrel. But yeah, I was praying for it to keep going, but it didn’t.
