The incessant chatter and debates about Juan Soto's comfort level with the Mets didn't receive much air time on Wednesday. In fact, the superstar slugger silenced his foolish critics the old-fashioned way, simply by doing what he's always done best.
As if the signs of a breakout at the plate weren't already present, Soto flaunted clutch power in the Mets' rubber game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, smashing a pair of solo home runs that proved to be the difference in a 7-1 win at Chase Field. It was the 25th multi-homer game of his already-illustrious career.
