NEW YORK -- Hits haven't come easy for Juan Soto during his first season with the New York Mets.
The $765 million slugger lost one Tuesday night against the Chicago White Sox because of some chaos on the basepaths.
With teammate Brandon Nimmo on first in the opening inning, Soto sent a drive toward right-center, where a diving Michael A. Taylor trapped the ball in his glove off a short bounce.
Hearing disappointment from Citi Field fans, however, Nimmo thought the ball had been caught on a fly.
