Yankees’ Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton crush homers in same inning vs. Padres

SAN DIEGO — Juan Soto started the party in his return to Petco Park, and then Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton followed his lead in the same inning.

Soto and Judge crushed back-to-back home runs and one single later, Stanton clobbered a two-run shot as the Yankees went bombs away on Yu Darvish for a five-run third inning on Friday night.

The trio combined for 1,249 feet of home runs in a matter of minutes, leading the Yankees to an 8-0 win over the Padres.

It marked the second time all three have homered in the same game.

They all came off Darvish, who had entered the game with a 25-inning scoreless streak.

Soto, in his first game here since the Padres traded him to the Yankees in December, struck out in his first at-bat after hearing more boos than cheers.

But he delivered on his flair for the dramatic in his second at-bat, ripping a 423-foot shot that right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. hardly moved for.

Two pitches later, Juge made it back-to-back, drilling a 409-foot home run for the third straight game and his 16th of the season to continue his torrid month of May.

Then, after Alex Verdugo sliced a single off the left-field wall, Stanton visited the second deck of the Western Metal Supply Co. building in left field.

His 417-foot shot made it a 6-0 Yankees lead.
