With the Houston Astros holding onto a 2-1 lead after three straight scoreless innings, Adam Eaton and Juan Soto helped the Washington Nationals break through and move back ahead.

Two batters later, Juan Soto mashed this pitch 413 feet in the same direction — the 21-year-old’s third home run of the series.
