Juan Soto Hit 2 Homerun's Game vs Mariners at Yankee Stadium

The chants spilled from the grandstands late Wednesday night, after Juan Soto had sliced his second home run of the game into the left-field seats at Yankee Stadium. Hearing the syllables of his name interspersed with proclamations of “M-V-P!,” the Yankees superstar turned toward the wall and raised both hands high. These first months in pinstripes have been a dream for Soto, and the key ingredient has been blocking out noise. No matter who is talking about what his contract and future could look like -- a daily conversation in the city at this point -- Soto has been able to focus on delivering results. “It’s unbelievable,” Soto said after his second multihomer game as a Yankee, helping to power a 7-3 victory over the Mariners. “All I’ve got to do is turn around and they go crazy. I know it’s a lot of Dominicans; they all want me to say hi. I try to say hi to everybody, but I’ve got to be focused on the game, too.”
