NEW YORK -- Carlos Mendoza wasn't worried about Juan Soto after the New York Mets' star slugger didn't homer in his first 15 home games at Citi Field.
More importantly, neither was Soto.
The Mets' $765 million man hit his first two homers at home on Thursday -- but those were the only runs for New York in a 4-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
"It's always good to see it," Mendoza said. "We knew he was close."
