The Mets will have to figure out how to get their starters past the fifth inning effectively and score runs on a more consistent basis, but this afternoon in Kansas City, an absolute blast of a two-run home run by Juan Soto in the top of the fourth inning led the way to give the team its second win in as many days over the Royals.
Through his first five innings of work, Frankie Montas looked the best he’s looked thus far in his handful of starts with the Mets. He didn’t allow any runs in those innings, gave up just two hits, and didn’t walk anybody.
