Juan Soto launches 2 home runs, but Mets drop game and series to Diamondbacks

Juan Soto hit his first two home runs at Citi Field as a member of the Mets on Thursday afternoon, but the Arizona Diamondbacks earned a 4-2 win to hand New York a rare home series loss.

The Diamondbacks won the final two games of the three-game series -- the first time the Mets have lost back-to-back contests at Citi Field since July 27-28, when they fell to the Atlanta Braves.

New York, which is 13-3 at Citi Field this season, had its franchise-record streak of 10 straight home series wins snapped.

Zac Gallen (2-4) allowed only two hits over six innings.
