Soto went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two additional runs scored, a double and a walk in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Giants.
The fourth-inning homer tied the game at 1-1, and it was Soto's first long ball as a Padre. Soto also doubled in the sixth and walked in the ninth, scoring both times. The superstar outfielder has hit safely in six of seven games since he was traded to San Diego, going 8-for-23 (.348). He's up to a .252/.413/.496 slash line with 22 long balls, 47 RBI, 68 runs scored and six stolen bases in 108 contests overall.
Soto went 1-for-3 with a pair of walks and a run in a 9-1 victory versus Colorado on Wednesday.
It was a quiet but effective San Diego debut for Soto, who reached based three times but had the spotlight somewhat stolen when fellow new acquisition Brandon Drury slugged a grand slam in the first inning. The Padres cruised to an easy win in the contest, with the offense looking inspired perhaps simply by Soto's presence in the lineup. The superstar outfielder has reached base 12 times over his past four games -- nine times via walk.
