Jorge Soler hits ball out of Minute Maid Park, wins World Series MVP award as Atlanta Braves top Houston Astros 7-0 in Game 6
A spare piece no more, Jorge Soler drove a pitch over the train tracks, out of Minute Maid Park and deep into the heart of Texas. He dropped his bat, tapped his chest twice and jabbed a hand toward the Atlanta Braves dugout.Two weeks ago, he was sidelined by COVID-19.
But each home run was a moment in time, a round-trip trio that will be replayed over and over when Soler is introduced for the rest of his life. There was double-barreled action in the Astros bullpen. Freddie Freeman watched intently from halfway between the on-deck circle and the plate. Soler’s three Series home runs matched the most for the Braves, equalling Hank Aaron in 1957, Lonnie Smith in 1991 and Ryan Klesko in 1995.
