After a quiet April, Juan Soto kicked off the month of May with a bang — and then another.

On Thursday, the outfielder hit his first home run at Citi Field since becoming a New York Met, putting the team on the board against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Soto hit deep to left center at the bottom of the sixth, earning his first dinger at home this season.

Two innings later, Soto hit another solo homer to the same spot to bring the score to 3-2.

Unfortunately, Soto's hot streak wasn't enough for the Mets, who ending up falling 4-2 to the Diamondbacks.
