Soto Reaches Impressive Young Milestone (ESPN- Associated Press)

 Nationals star Juan Soto hit his 100th career home run. He joined six other active players to hit that many at age 23 or younger — the others are Miguel CabreraBryce Harper, Ronald Acuña Jr., Albert PujolsGiancarlo Stanton and Mike Trout.

GOING, GOING, GONE

Solo's second homer of the season, a solo shot, landed about 15 rows into the seats in right-center, traveling 451 feet and leaving his bat at 113 mph. Washington went back-to-back when Bell followed Soto with a homer.

TRAINER'S ROOM

Washington DH Nelson Cruz was scratched from the lineup because of groin tightness. Yadiel Hernandez moved from LF to DH, hitting fourth, and Lane Thomas was inserted in the lineup in left, batting seventh. ... Espino was drilled in the right thigh on a liner from Matt Olson in the sixth, but stayed in the game to give up a two-run double by Riley that made it 13-3.

More later by me, when the HR leaders board updates with Mr. Soto at the 100 homer mark.
