Juan Soto, Aaron Judge power Yankees over Mariners to avoid first three-game skid
NY Post
It’s unknown how long Juan Soto will be a Yankee, but while he’s here, he’s certainly making Yankee Stadium his home.
While Hal Steinbrenner has made it known he wants to keep Soto, the price of keeping him alongside Aaron Judge continues to rise, as the pair of sluggers went deep two innings apart — and Soto homered twice — in the Yankees’ 7-3 win over the Mariners at the Stadium on Wednesday.
The victory allowed the Yankees to avoid their first three-game losing streak since April 14-16.
After Judge’s first-inning homer, Soto added two more later in the game, as he continues to soak up the adoration of the fans.
He even heard chants of “MVP” more than once over the course of the game.
“I still think it’s way too early,” Soto said of the fans already crowning him with the award. “It’s fun to see those fans go at it every day. It’s unbelievable. I’ve just got to turn around and they go crazy.”
