Juan Soto Homers as Dominican Republic Mercy-Rules Netherlands 12-1

Soto homered and went 1-for-3 with two runs, two RBIs, two walks, a strikeout and a stolen base as the Dominican Republic routed the Netherlands 12–1 under the WBC seven-inning mercy rule. The blast capped a six-run fifth that blew the game open and capped a dominant offensive showing for the hosts. DR will play against Israel on Monday.
