Juan Soto does it all in Yankees’ win over Rays
NY Post
Much like he has so far this season, Juan Soto gave the Yankees a little bit of everything Friday night.
There was the opposite field single to left in the first, a bunt single that helped spark a four-run third, an opposite-field double to left that turned into a Little League home run in the fourth and another double in the sixth.
He finished off his night with an eighth-inning walk.
“He’s worth the price of admission, to say the least,” Gerrit Cole said after picking up the win in the Yankees’ 6-1 win over the Rays at the Stadium. “What a magnificent hitter. He’s got it all.”
It was the second four-hit game of the season for Soto, who also had a run of four straight multi-hit games just before the All-Star break.
And no one energized the sellout crowd in The Bronx more than Soto, who is nothing if not entertaining, whether it’s coming up with different ways to reach base or dancing off third base in an attempt to distract the pitcher.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions (and even ridicule) following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season.
The Giants have never been 0-2 under Brian Daboll, until now. They were 2-0 and flying high in 2022 and 1-1 after a rousing comeback in Arizona in 2023. So, this represents a low point as far as early-season difficulties for Daboll and the Giants. They had no business beating the Vikings in the opener and no business losing to the Commanders in Week 2. But here they are.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Harrison Butker kept making a lonely walk to midfield after each quarter Sunday to check on the direction of the wind, which tends to swirl inside Arrowhead Stadium. He did it one last time during the 2-minute warning, when his Chiefs were trailing the Bengals by two and trying to give him a winning field-goal attempt.
