Juan Soto's first Citi Field homers can't save Mets in dismal loss to Diamondbacks
Briefly

Juan Soto hit his first two home runs at home as a Met but they came during a 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks. These hits alleviated some pressure on Soto, who had struggled in previous games. Despite his impressive performance, the Mets could not capitalize as they lost their third series of the year. The team's bullpen faltered under pressure, while Soto’s efforts provided a glimpse of promise amidst the defeat, showcasing what he could bring to the franchise moving forward.
“Soto went deep twice Thursday - which might have been the only memorable moments from a 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks in front of 36,239.”
“Soto appeared to realize that he does not have to worry about finding holes in the defense if he simply hits the ball over the defense.”
“In the sixth inning, he injected life into Queens with an opposite-field shot.”
“The Mets' bullpen, which has been excellent all season but has begun incurring injuries amid a mounting workload, buckled first with newcomer Genesis Cabrera.”
