Yankees' Juan Soto hits 2 homers, hears MVP chants in victory

NEW YORK -- Fifty-one games into the season, Juan Soto is sparking chants of "M-V-P!" at Yankee Stadium.

"Way too early," Soto said after his second two-homer game of the homestand led the New York Yankees over the Seattle Mariners 7-3 on Wednesday night and stopped New York's first two-game losing streak in three weeks.

Soto drove a full-count sinker into the visitors' bullpen in left in the third for a two-run homer and a 4-0 lead, a 414-foot drive off Bryce Miller that hit the back wall on a hop.
