New York, NY — In a thrilling matchup at Yankee Stadium, Juan Soto showcased his power with not one, but two home runs, leading the New York Yankees to a 7-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners. The win snapped the Yankees’ two-game losing streak.
The 25-year-old outfielder, Juan Soto, stole the show on Wednesday night. In the third inning, he launched a two-run shot into the right-field stands, giving the Yankees an early lead. But he wasn’t done yet. In the sixth inning, Soto crushed a solo home run, bringing his season total to an impressive 13. His swing was smooth, and the ball seemed to leap off his bat, leaving Mariners pitcher Bryce Miller helpless.
Soto’s performance wasn’t just about the long ball; he also contributed three RBIs, showcasing his ability to drive in runs when it mattered most. His second multihomer game of the homestand highlighted his consistency and impact on the team.
While Soto stole the headlines, Aaron Judge and Alex Verdugo also flexed their muscles. Judge, the Yankees’ towering outfielder, launched his 14th home run of the season—a two-run blast that set the tone early in the game. Verdugo, the left-handed hitting outfielder, smacked his sixth home run, adding to the offensive onslaught against the Mariners.
The trio of Soto, Judge, and Verdugo provided the power surge the Yankees needed to secure the win. Their opposite-field drives showcased their versatility and ability to capitalize on pitches in different parts of the strike zone.
Nestor Cortes took the mound for the Yankees and delivered five shutout innings. The left-hander baffled Mariners hitters, allowing only three hits while striking out six. His pinpoint control and deceptive changeup kept the Mariners’ offense at bay, setting the stage for the Yankees’ explosive bats.
Tommy Kahnle, making his first big-league appearance since last September, followed Cortes with a scoreless frame. Kahnle’s return added depth to the Yankees’ bullpen, a crucial factor as they aim for postseason success.
Looking Ahead
With the win, the Yankees improved their record to 34-17, maintaining their position atop the American League standings. Luis Gil, the rookie sensation, will take the mound on Thursday as the Yankees seek to split the four-game series with the Mariners. The 12:35 p.m. first pitch promises another exciting showdown between these two talented teams.
