Talk about Soler power.
After missing the first four games of the NLCS and coming off the bench in Games 5 and 6, Braves slugger Jorge Soler made history in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday with a monstrous home run off of Framber Valdez to lead off the game.
It marked the first time in World Series history that a leadoff hitter has homered in the top of the first inning in any game, let alone in Game 1, according to ESPN Stats & Info. It was the fourth postseason home run by Soler and his first since Game 3 of the 2015 NLCS, when he was on the Cubs.
