WASHINGTON — The Padres hit two home runs off their former top prospect and survived a two-run homer by another former top prospect to beat the Nationals 7-4 Tuesday night.
Juan Soto, in his second trip back to Nationals Park to play his former team, was 3-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk.
For those not familiar with how the Padres mortgaged the future with a trade to acquire Soto last August, they dealt two different former No.1 prospects, both of whom they faced Tuesday.
