Juan Soto launches go-ahead Yankees homer after injury scare
With one dramatic swing, Juan Soto turned unease into bedlam.
Minutes after blasting a foul ball off his foot and appearing to be in serious pain, Soto stepped into a two-run home run that gave the Yankees a 2-1 lead over the Royals in The Bronx on Wednesday.
The Yankees had done little against opposing lefty Cole Ragans, who had not allowed a base runner to reach second base, when Soto drilled a pitch off the top of his right, front foot in the sixth inning.
The superstar hobbled about halfway to first base before taking a knee.
A team trainer examined the foot for a few tense minutes before Soto rose and made his way back to home plate to a loud round of applause.
Two pitches later, Soto demolished a 2-2 knuckle curve deep into the seats in right and watched it go for his 39th home run of the season.
