Soto’s two-homer barrage keeps Nationals alive in tight race
Juan Soto’s power surge—two blasts and a walk—led Washington past Philadelphia in a must-win series opener.
Juan Soto erased any doubt about his offensive firepower with a two-homer explosion in the Nationals’ 6-4 victory over the Phillies on Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park. Soto went 2-for-4 with both homers leaving the yard solo, driving in two of Washington’s six runs while drawing a walk in a high-leverage 1-0 count in the seventh. The outburst snapped a brief slump and underscored why he remains the club’s undisputed offensive engine.
