Soto hit a solo home run in the eighth inning to extend the Mets’ lead and cap off an offensive day in which the New York team collected 14 hits.
The New York offense took control of the game from the first inning, when Jared Young hit an RBI single and Marcus Semien drove in another run with a double, in an attack that produced three runs.

The Mets continued to extend their lead in the third inning. Brett Baty hit a bases-clearing double and drove in three runs, making the score 6-0 in favor of New York.
The Rays reacted in the fourth inning and managed to close the gap to 6-4, but the Mets regained control and finished sealing the game with an offense that kept the pressure on Tampa Bay’s pitching.
Morabito shines in his offensive debut
Rookie Nick Morabito was another of the night’s standout figures by hitting the first hit of his Major League career, a three-run double in the seventh inning.

Morabito also contributed with a spectacular catch in left field and later hit a single to complete a memorable night.
For the Mets, Soto finished 2-for-5, with an RBI and a run scored, while for Tampa Bay, Dominican Junior Caminero went 0-for-4.
Soto’s home run represents his 23rd of the season and comes at a time when the Dominican hitter continues to provide power to the Mets’ offense.
