NEW YORK — At last, Juan Soto hit his first home run at Citi Field while wearing a New York Mets uniform. Then he hit another homer two innings later.
In the sixth inning during the Mets’ game Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Soto hit a solo home run, a no-doubter to left-center field with an estimated distance of 391 feet. Soto connected against a cutter down the middle from Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen for his fourth home run of the season.
His second home run, another opposite-field shot in the eighth inning, traveled 399 feet. Soto now has 24 career multi-homer games.

By his standards — and the standards of the richest contract in sports history — Soto is off to a slow start. He entered the game with a slash line of .241/.368/.384. Soto had been hitting balls hard. But his 55-percent ground-ball rate is above his norm.
Before joining the Mets, Soto had terrific career numbers at Citi Field (.333/.466/.709 with 12 home runs in 146 plate appearances).

What rival evaluators are saying about Yankees prospect George Lombard Jr.’s hot start
WAPPINGERS FALLS, N.Y. — George Lombard Jr. tagged up at third base, raced toward home and slid head first. The throw was in time, and the catcher tagged him on the lower back just before he could slip his left hand over the plate. Lombard got up and argued with the umpire, seemingly trying to plead his case that the catcher had been blocking his path to home plate. He was irritated, a change from his typically cool demeanor. But the inning was over, and soon he accepted the decision and walked back to play shortstop.AdvertisementThe moment appeared to be an example of what a rival executive had said about the top New York Yankees’ prospect not long before.“He looks bigger, faster (and) stronger, and he’s playing with more of an edge — in a good way,” the executive said.Other […]
