In leading the New York Mets to a 6-4 win over their division rival Philadelphia Phillies, Juan Soto accomplished something he’s become known for at this point in his career. He added another multi-homer game to his resume.
Soto homered in consecutive at-bats to open the game, going yard with two outs against the Phillies in the first inning and then again with no outs on the scoreboard in the third.
Juan Soto is on a historic pace with multi-homer games
The two-homer night was the 30th time Soto hit more than one ball out of the ballpark. His 30 multi-homer games move him into a three-way tie for the most by any player in baseball history before turning 28 years old.
Soto, 27, matched Mel Ott and Ralph Kiner and has more year to tie Alex Rodriguez and Eddie Matthews with 31 each. Jimmie Fox owns the overall record with 32.
With both home runs being solo shot, Soto finished the game going 2-for-4 with the pair of home runs, two RBI, two run scored and a walk.
