Juan Soto achieved a significant milestone by hitting his 200th career home run, which also marked his 40th home run of the season. This homer made him the 7th-youngest player in MLB history to reach 200 career homers and completed his feat of homering in all 30 MLB ballparks, as noted by Michael Kay. At just 25 years old, Soto hit a 2-seam fastball for this milestone. Additionally, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto became the third pair of Yankees teammates to each hit 40 or more home runs in a single season, joining the ranks of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, and Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle. In the same game, Jasson Dominguez hit his first home run of the season, contributing to the Yankees' 7-1 lead over the Mariners.
