While the Astros' Alex Bregman apologized for carrying his bat to first base on Tuesday, Juan Soto - who did the same thing in the Nationals' Game 6 win - said wasn't sorry about anything.

Soto, appearing on MLB Network's postgame show, said he was just inspired by Bregman's gesture in the first inning. So he did the same.

"I was like that looks pretty cool," he said.

He held to that explanation while speaking to reporters later.

It was a far cry from Bregman's statement to reporters postgame. He reportedly said that that wasn't "how I was raised to play the game."

Davey Martinez told reporters after the game that he did not approve of Soto's celebration.
