The New York Mets didn’t start their season the way they wanted, dropping their Opening Day matchup to the Houston Astros on Thursday. But baseball is a game of second chances, and they wasted no time getting their payback.
On Friday night, they returned the favor with a 3-1 victory, fueled by a dominant start from Tylor Megill, a lights-out bullpen, and a certain $765 million man who reminded everyone why the Mets bet big on him.
Soto’s Statement
On Thursday, with the game on the line, Juan Soto struck out—a rare moment of failure for one of baseball’s most talented hitters.
