Dominican Juan Soto was one of the great figures of the game by hitting two home runs, including a solo shot in the first inning and another in the third, thus reaching his 17th home run of the season. Since May 14, Soto has remained one of the most explosive hitters in Major League Baseball.
For his part, Marcus Semien starred in the key play of the game in the seventh inning. With two outs and runners on base, the veteran infielder received a second chance after a review confirmed a foul tip on what appeared to be the third strike. On the next pitch, Semien hit a powerful triple to center field, driving in two runs and extending the Mets’ lead.
