Juan Soto Blasts 13th Home Run
Juan Soto homered for the second straight game in the team's 5-0 win over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. Soto blasted a two-run shot off right-hander Jake Irvin and notched a single during a 2-for-4 night. After signing a 15-year, $765 million contract in free agency, Soto endured a rocky first couple of months as a Met. He has returned to his superstar form in June, though, having gone 13-of-34 (.382) with four long balls, eight RBI, 13 runs, and 12 walks against seven strikeouts. That spectacular output over a 10-game span has raised Soto's line to .252/.387/.467 with 13 homers, 35 RBI, and 49:55 K:BB through 302 plate appearances. With Soto ranking among the elite in most batted-ball metrics, fantasy managers should expect his production to keep rising over the next couple of months. He may be in for another big game Thursday versus Nationals starter Michael Soroka. Soto has gone 6-for-10 with two HRs, four walks, and one strikeout against the righty.
