Juan Soto Earns 3-Word Nickname From MLB During Yankees Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Thursday night’s 3-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers got its first spark from Juan Soto, who lined a ground-ball single into right field in the bottom of the sixth inning to put the Mets ahead 2-1. It was a fitting microcosm of Soto’s recent play.

Juan Soto stepped into the box in the bottom of the first inning Friday with a chance to stop the Yankees’ momentum and start the party at Citi Field. In the top of the frame, Yankees outfielders Jasson Dominguez and Aaron Judge had crushed back-to-back home runs and put the Mets in a two-run hole.

It's safe to say the initial panic about Juan Soto's tenure with the New York Mets was overblown, as his hot streak continued with a two-run homer in Friday's 6-5 win over the New York Yankees.
