As it turns out, this Juan Soto guy is pretty good—and he's ready to save the New York Mets' season.
Soto crushed two home runs, his 18th and 19th, in Wednesday's 7-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Not only did Soto help secure a much-needed win amid a trying June, but he made MLB history in the process.
Wednesday marked the 27th time in Soto's stellar career that he's had a multi-home run game. According to MLB analyst Sarah Langs, that's a new record for the most multi-homer games for a player before turning 27.
Soto passed Hall of Fame slugger Jimmie Foxx, who had 26 such games for the then-Philadelphia Athletics nearly 100 years ago.
