Juan Soto appeared to utter a three-word message to teammate Aaron Judge after the Yankees star finally hit a home run against the Dodgers.
Judge lit the fuse in Game 5 of the World Series with a two-run home run on his first pitch at Yankee Stadium.
It was the 32-year-old’s first home run of the series and came after days of criticism directed at the Yankees captain.
Footage shows Soto waiting for Judge near the Yankees bench and appeared to tell his teammate “nobody better” before they led the celebrations.
The home run gave the Yankees an early lead over the Dodgers as they looked to bring the seven-game series back to Los Angeles.

‘Yes, definitely. You want to receive the successes. You want to do your job,’ he said.
But now I’m not doing my job. I have to pick it up.’
