June 18 (UPI) -- Washington Nationals rookie Juan Soto hit a home run in a make up game Monday, which will be counted for May 15, before his Major League Baseball debut.
The statistical oddity still won't count as his first career home run, according to Elias Sports Bureau. That moment will be recognized as his homer on May 21 in a 10-2 win against the San Diego Padres. Soto made his official MLB debut on May 20 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
