Juan Soto is in the midst of a seven-game stretch in which he’s gone 9-for-26 with six extra-base hits and six walks in his last 33 plate appearances.

Juan Soto homered in consecutive at-bats, Kodai Senga overcame early control problems to pitch six scoreless innings and the New York Mets beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-1 on Wednesday. Soto hit a solo homer off Merrill Kelly (3-2) in the seventh inning and added another off Jalen Beeks in the eighth,

Catcher Luis Torrens threw out Corbin Carroll trying to steal second in the first inning. On Alek Thomas’ double in the second, a well-executed relay sequence from Tyrone Taylor to Francisco Lindor to Torrens nailed Eugenio Suarez at the plate.
