Juan Soto does it all in Yankees’ win over Rays
NY Post
Much like he has so far this season, Juan Soto gave the Yankees a little bit of everything Friday night.
There was the opposite field single to left in the first, a bunt single that helped spark a four-run third, an opposite-field double to left that turned into a Little League home run in the fourth and another double in the sixth.
He finished off his night with an eighth-inning walk.
“He’s worth the price of admission, to say the least,” Gerrit Cole said after picking up the win in the Yankees’ 6-1 win over the Rays at the Stadium. “What a magnificent hitter. He’s got it all.”
It was the second four-hit game of the season for Soto, who also had a run of four straight multi-hit games just before the All-Star break.
And no one energized the sellout crowd in The Bronx more than Soto, who is nothing if not entertaining, whether it’s coming up with different ways to reach base or dancing off third base in an attempt to distract the pitcher.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
