Juan Soto’s breakout supports Luis Gil’s gem as Yankees beat White Sox for sixth straight win
NY Post
For a stretch of eight games over the past week, Juan Soto looked merely human.
He spent Saturday afternoon looking more like Juan Soto while supporting his pitcher, who did not look mortal, either.
Soto crushed a pair of home runs in a four-hit game and Luis Gil struck out a career-high 14 in a dazzling performance as the Yankees cruised to their sixth straight win with a 6-1 drubbing of the White Sox in The Bronx.
On a day when Giancarlo Stanton and Jose Trevino also homered, the Yankees (32-15) were led by their two stud 25-year-olds to clinch a 12th series victory in their first 15 chances for the sixth time in franchise history.
“It was a fun day,” Soto said after going 4-for-4 with a walk, three RBIs and his first multi-home run game as a Yankee. “More than happy to get the win and see Gil doing his thing.”
During his six innings of work, Gil at one point fanned seven straight batters and ended up striking out nine of the final 10 batters he faced.
Just to get the formalities out of the way, Juan Soto officially declined the qualifying offer by Tuesday’s deadline.
