The Generational Juan Soto stepped up when the New York Yankees needed him the most.
Following the embarrassing and inexcusable 12-2 loss against Major League Baseball’s worst Chicago White Sox on Monday night, Soto decided to take matters into his own hands.
Looking to light a fire under a team competing for the top seed in the American League, Soto entered Guaranteed Rate Field having never homered there in his career.
So naturally, the 25-year-old phenom mashed three home runs in a single game for the first time in his career.
His first homer of the night gave the Yankees a 2-0 lead in the top of the third inning when he smoked a 94 mph sinker into White Sox bullpen.

He decided to follow that up with another impeccable blast to left-center field in the top of the fifth inning.

Sure, oppo tacos are impressive, but Soto also had to prove he could pull an absolute nuke over the Yankees bullpen in right field.
