VIDEO: Nationals Take Game 6 Lead With Homers From Adam Eaton and Juan Soto
By Andy Loughmiller
Just when you thought the Astros were going to run away with Game 6 of the World Series, the Washington Nationals' bats catch fire! Adam Eaton got things started with a solo homer to right field to tie the game at two runs apiece in the top of the fifth inning.

Juan Soto followed up Eaton's home run with a dinger of his own. The 21-year old absolutely crushed one out of the park, nearly hitting the scoreboard.

Astros ace Justin Verlander can't seem to catch a break as his post season struggles continue. He has since been pulled from the game.
An otherworldy 111-mph exit velocity will do that.
The Nationals have now taken a 3-2 lead vs. the Astros in Game 6 of the World Series. That's the beauty of the MLB, things can change in a swing of the bat.
