SEATTLE - Playing for a team of the caliber of the New York Yankees always comes with extra pressure. But four games into his career with the Bronx Bombers, seems like Juan Soto is thriving under that pressure.
The Dominican was his team's hero over opening weekend, hitting .529 (9 for 17) with four RBIs and a homer during the Yankees sweep over the Houston Astros. Soto's performances at bat helped the Yankees to their first 4-0 start since 2003 and its fourth overall since 1950. "That's the kind of start I wanted," Soto said to the Associated Press. "I grinded really hard this offseason and in spring training to be successful in the beginning of the season."
