Juan Soto absolutely crushed a home run to give the Washington Nationals a 3-2 lead in the top of the fifth inning of Game 6 of the World Series on Tuesday night, and then he gave Alex Bregman a dose of revenge.
Soto carried his bat to first base after his homer, matching what Bregman did after homering in the first.
Soto then tossed his bat to first base coach Tim Bogar, who did not seem happy about the gesture, according to FOX announcer Joe Buck.

The homer marked Soto’s third of the series, matching Bregman. The 21-year-old has a lot of cockiness and we love it.
Soto’s home run was measured at 111.4 mph off the bat and was estimated to have traveled 413 feet. What a rocket.
