Washington Nationals: Juan Soto steals the show, shatters more records

Playing their second doubleheader in the last four days, the Washington Nationals once again swept both games. They never said die coming back from three down in the ninth, before rookie sensation Juan Soto won the game in the tenth.

Having hit a two-run homer earlier in the game to spot the Nats a 3-0 lead, he stepped up in a tied game in extras. He then launched his second bomb of the game to put his ballclub up 7-6. A lead which they held onto to clinch the doubleheader sweep.

It was the rookie’s third game with multiple home runs, the most by a teenager in MLB history.
