Juan Soto, Nelson Cruz, and Josh Bell went a combined 4 for 8 with four runs scored, eight RBIs, a double, and three home runs, with the three of them going back-to-back-to-back in the fifth as the Washington Nationals jumped out to an 8-1 lead, in what ended up being an 8-6 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday.
After the game, the second straight W in D.C., manager Davey Martinez talked about getting all three of his middle-of-the-order bats humming at once with Soto, Cruz, and Bell all going well right now, and watching them hit the three straight homers, he said, is just how the club planned it when they put the roster together this winter, adding Cruz to the mix.
