The New York Yankees traded for Juan Soto so he could add some life to the lineup. He rewarded his new team by carrying them in a remarkable comeback win on Opening Day in Houston.
The Yankees trailed the Astros 4-0 before loading the bases in the fifth inning, right before Soto strolled to the plate for his third at-bat. Soto was 0 for 1 with a walk and, in typical Juan Soto fashion, quickly worked a 2-1 count before flaring a single to right field. The Yankees scored and then added two more via bases loaded walks, and Oswaldo Cabrera tied it 4-4 with a solo homer.
