The dishes won an essential victory for Philadelphia on Saturday evening, 11-4, slamming their sequence of seven consecutive defeats and again attaching the Phillies to the top of the NL East.
Brandon Nimmo dominated twice for the food while Francisco Lindor and Francisco Alvarez added their own circuit, but the title here on an individual basis belongs to Juan Soto. He went 4 for 5 and dominated twice with the second being a beauty of the upper tank to offer the food a certain breathing room.
Soto now has 16 circuits and 39 points produced this season. It strikes .256 / .393 / .484 over the season.
It was actually his third match of two hommers in 2025 and it passed his count at 26 in his career. This binds the Jimmie Foxx renowned temple for the most ever by a player before it is 27 years old, according to mlb.com. Soto is 27 years old on October 25, so he has the rest of the season for Top Foxx.
