Nats ride Soto's historic 2-HR game to split in NY

NEW YORK -- The first game Juan Soto played in this season came at State Mutual Stadium, the home of the Braves' Class A Rome affiliate, which seats a little more than 5,000 people. Soto offered a glimpse of his enormous potential in that game, when he homered for Hagerstown, but even then it would have been difficult to imagine how different his stage would be just two months later. And how well he would handle it.
On Wednesday night, Soto played for the first time in his career at Yankee Stadium in front of 45,030 fans. And he responded by becoming the fifth-youngest player in Major League history to record a multihomer game, swatting a three-run homer in the fourth that squeaked over the left-field wall and a towering 436-foot solo homer to center field in the seventh to power the Nats to a 5-4 victory.
"For him to go out there and do what he did today, in front of this crowd, it tells you a little bit about the character that he brings," Nationals manager Dave Martinez said.
At 19 years old and 231 days, Soto became the youngest player with a multihomer game in the regular season since Andruw Jones (19 years, 121 days) went deep twice for the Braves on Aug. 22, 1996. Soto also became the youngest player to homer in the regular season in the Bronx since Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. went deep twice at the old Yankee Stadium on May 30, 1989.

Soto was not yet born when those two icons accomplished those feats, and he felt honored to have his name mentioned among them on Wednesday night.
"One of the best," Soto said with a smile when asked to rank this game in his career. "I feel great."

Soto -- the team's No. 2 prospect and the game's 13th overall prospect -- has impressed the Nationals by handling everything they have thrown at him at such a young age. When Soto began the season at Class A, the team did not envision he would arrive in the Majors so quickly. When they promoted him to D.C., it was in part because they had run out of outfielders following a plethora of injuries. But now, even with the Nats outfield at full strength, Soto has forced his way into increased playing time.
Through the first 20 games of his Major League career, Soto is batting .344/.447/.641 with five home runs, four of which have come against left-handers.
"He's the truth," right-hander Justin Miller said.
"It's unbelievable, honestly," added right-hander Erick Fedde, who gave up four runs in five innings after being promoted from the Minors earlier in the day to make the start.

With some of his uncles in the crowd, Soto powered a Nationals offense that had not scored since Saturday, a span of 19 innings, before a sacrifice fly from Anthony Rendon in the first inning.
And Washington started off playing a sloppy game, with a pair of runners getting picked off on the bases and another thrown out trying to advance. Martinez called it an ugly game, before Soto turned it around. He smiled as the first home run sneaked over the fence, and he stoically watched as his moonshot in the seventh gave the Nats a 5-4 lead.
Soto's phone was bombarded with congratulatory text messages after the game, so many that he laughed and said there had been too many to count. Washington believed it had a future star on its hands with Soto, someone who could roam the outfield in D.C. for years to come. No one could have guessed how quickly he would arrive and how forcefully he would announce his arrival.

"From where he started this year to be here, there's good reason," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "We got a peek at it tonight."

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Soto's fourth-inning home run, per Statcast™, had an exit velocity of 103.1 mph, but it was hit at a 45-degree launch angle, giving the fly a 14 percent hit probability. But left fielder Brett Gardner ran out of room as the 338-foot fly ball cleared the wall and bounced off a fan in the front row and back onto the field.
"I was surprised," Soto said. "Because I hit it pretty good, but too high. So, I was running the bases saying keep going, keep going, keep going. When it was gone, I felt very good."
