Following a May slump that dropped his batting average to .224, Juan Soto has eight hits in his last four games. And when he homered Tuesday night, the Mets slugger stared down Nationals pitcher MacKenzie Gore a couple of times while rounding the bases.

With his former team leading 3-1 in the third inning, facing starter MacKenzie Gore, who the San Diego Padres traded to Washington for Soto in 2022, Soto hit a hanging slider over the wall in left field to bring the Mets within one run of the Nationals.
