New York Yankees star Juan Soto continues demonstrating his quality as a hitter for the Yankees. In the recent win over the Boston Red Sox, Soto hit a decisive double in the 10th inning, driving in Jon Berti to secure the 2-1 victory.
In addition to his offensive contribution, Juan Soto has also shown his support for his teammates. Following the recent removal of Clay Holmes, Soto expressed confidence in the reliever and encouraged him to move forward.
“I’m happy for him,” Soto said of Holmes, who was the winning pitcher. “At the end of the day, we’re a family here. We’re all going to struggle. We’re all going to do good. We just have to back each other.”
Aaron Boone trusts Holmes
Holmes, despite facing criticism from fans, has proven his worth in important moments. In the game against the Red Sox, the reliever got two crucial outs in the tenth inning, allowing the Yankees to secure the win.

“His stuff looked really good,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “I thought he had a good mix of his sinker and slider. He was pounding the strike zone. He got ahead right away and looked sharp.”
