Juan Soto Sets Multi-Homer Record in Mets Win

Juan Soto led the New York Mets to a 7-3 win over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night, hitting two home runs and breaking Jimmie Foxx's MLB record with his 27th multi-homer game before turning 27. Soto now sports a .256 average, .898 OPS, and leads the Mets with 19 home runs and 66 walks this season. His historic night also made him just the third player before age 27 to reach 1,000 hits, 200 home runs, and 700 walks, joining Mickey Mantle and Mel Ott. The Mets snapped a cold streak and improved to 47-34, staying in postseason contention. Ronny Mauricio homered and collected three hits, while the Mets’ bullpen contributed key scoreless innings. Teammates and coaches continue to praise Soto's consistent leadership during the team's ups and downs.
