Juan Soto surpasses Jimmie Foxx with his 27th multi-home run game before the age of 27

NEW YORK — Dominican Juan Soto once again left his mark on Major League history this Wednesday, by hitting two home runs in the New York Mets' 7-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field. With this performance, Soto reached his 27th multi-homerun game before turning 27 years old, surpassing none other than Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx..

Soto was key in the triumph, barely the second for the Mets in their last 10 games. His first home run —part of a five-run attack in the fourth inning— came against Colombian Didier Fuentes, while the second, a solo shot in the seventh, served to seal the victory.

The outfielder went 4-2 with two home runs and continues to be on fire in the month of June, with 10 home runs, including five in his last five games, a figure that places him as co-leader of the Major Leagues in that stretch along with Cal Raleigh and Eugenio Suárez. Despite the criticism he has received for his initial adaptation with the Mets, Soto continues to demonstrate why he is one of the best talents of his generation. Since his arrival in Queens, he has responded with power and consistency, and with this latest feat he expands his legacy as one of the most explosive hitters before the age of 27.
