In a highly anticipated matchup at Yankee Stadium, Juan Soto faced intense boos from Yankees fans but displayed confidence and composure, tipping his helmet and smiling. The Mets ultimately lost 6-2, with Soto having a lackluster performance of 0-for-2 but earned three walks. Despite the pressure, Soto had a chance to make an impact in the ninth inning but flied out with two runners on base. Post-game, his friendly exchange with Yankees pitcher Luke Weaver left Mets fans questioning Soto's loyalty, amid discussions of his past success against the Yankees.
Yankees fans wanted to teach Soto a lesson. They pictured him being embarrassed by Carlos Rodon and out-performed by Aaron Judge, but that didn’t happen.
Soto walked out of the dugout in the first inning, smiled and tipped his helmet, showing he wouldn’t be phased by the boos or pressure.
Now it was Soto's turn to break the Bombers' hearts. He stepped to the plate with two out and two on, though he ultimately flied out.
The most telling exchange occurred when Soto and Weaver tapped each other amicably on the back as they crossed paths post-game.
