Juan Soto dashed home with the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, beating a throw to the plate on Luis Torrens' sharp grounder to second base, and the New York Mets avoided a three-game sweep Sunday with a 3-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds.
Soto led off the inning by drawing a walk from Brent Suter (1-1) and went to third on Jeff McNeil's one-out double. With the infield playing in, Tony Santillan got Torrens to hit a hard grounder to second baseman Matt McLain, but Soto got an excellent jump and scored with a headfirst slide as the one-hop throw arrived.
