Juan Soto hit two long home runs and the San Diego Padres beat the Detroit Tigers 5-4 on Friday night.
Soto's home run in the first inning was estimated at 447 feet and his third-inning shot came in at 463 feet. He also drew his majors-leading 93rd walk.
“Obviously, the intensity ramps up when you go from pitching rehab games to being in the eighth inning of a one-run game, and Robert looked really good,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said. “He and Josh were a pretty good combination for us last year, and they did that again tonight.”The Padres took the lead with three runs in the first.
San Diego nearly added another run in the second, but left fielder Akil Baddoo reached over the fence to rob Ha-Seong Kim of a homer.
