Juan Soto had his first career three-homer game, Nestor Cortes tossed seven shutout innings, and the New York Yankees held off the Chicago White Sox 4-1 on Tuesday night to take sole possession of the American League East lead. Soto tagged starter Jonathan Cannon (2-6) for a two-run shot to left field in the third inning and went the other way again on a leadoff homer in the fifth. The four-time All-Star added his 33rd of the season in the seventh off left-handed reliever Fraser Ellard, pulling a drive to right that made it 4-0. "I've been working on just trying to be accurate to the ball," Soto said in his postgame, on-field interview on the YES Network. "Try to make contact with the ball, put the barrel on the ball, and forget about what is going to happen."
️ Juan Soto's three-homer night was pure fire, and Nestor Cortes’s seven shutout innings were stellar! The Yankees are definitely making a strong push with that AL East lead. Soto’s focus and accuracy are paying off big time.
