When Juan Soto homered in the top of the ninth inning on Monday night to give the Nationals a 6-3 lead over the Braves, he admired his blast and enjoyed a slow trot around the bases -- the seventh time in his 12 Major League Baseball games he has made such a trot, so he's been on the frequent flyer tour. Braves reliever Will Smith did not like Soto's reaction, however, and shouted a few choice words at the young phenom.
Soto's blast appeared to be the exclamation point on an important win for the struggling Nationals, but the Braves got the last word thanks to Dansby Swanson's two-run walk-off home run that capped a four-run rally in the bottom of the ninth off Nationals closer Daniel Hudson.
