Soto ties Junior for 5th-most HRs by a teen

Nationals rookie Juan Soto launched one of his trademark opposite-field, two-run homers in the third inning against Phillies starter Jake Arrieta on Wednesday night in the series finale at Citizens Bank Park. It was Soto’s 16th home run of the year, moving him into a tie with Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. for the fifth-most home runs by a teenager in MLB history.
