Jeff McNeil delivered the game-winning hit in the 10th. Soto is 14-for-37 with four homers, eight RBI and 13 walks in his last 11 games, raising his OPS from .755 to .840.

Soto took Clayton Kershaw deep for his only hit of the game, sending a two-run blast to right center field. It was Soto’s third home run in four games and his 11th on the season as he’s hitting .233/.361/.438 with 39 runs scored, 30 RBI, and seven steals across 269 plate appearances.

The homer off Antonio Senzatela was Soto’s first in three weeks. It’s not much, especially coming against Colorado pitching, but he has collected three hits the last two days. His batted-ball numbers still say there’s nothing at all wrong here, but Mets fans and fantasy leaguers have to be tired of hearing that by now.

The 26-year-old slugger reached on an error by Max Muncy in the opening inning and then rode home on a two-run blast off the bat of Pete Alonso. Soto then drove in a run with a fielder’s choice in the third inning and swiped second base before ultimately getting stranded there. With his 0-for-4 evening he’s now hitting a disappointing .236/.363/.414 on the season, though that has come with eight homers, 24 RBI and seven stolen bases. He has already matched his stolen base total from the 2024 season and is just five swipes away from his career-high.
