Juan Soto is back in Washington.
After a blockbuster trade that saw the 23-year-old slugger leave the Washington Nationals for the San Diego Padres, Soto and his new team are currently in the U.S. capital for a three-game series against his old squad.
San Diego had no trouble in Friday’s game, winning 10-5 after a seven-run inning in the top of the fifth. The Nationals, however, bounced back in Saturday’s contest to win 4-3 after a three-run inning in the bottom of the sixth.
