US EditionChaos on the bases costs Juan Soto a hit in Mets' win over White Sox
- The New York Mets defeated the Chicago White Sox 6-4 on May 27, 2025, in New York despite chaotic base running that cost Juan Soto a hit.
- The confusion arose when Soto was ruled out after overtaking teammate Brandon Nimmo, who had safely reached first base, due to a miscommunication on the bases.
- Following Soto's called-out hit, Pete Alonso hit a two-run homer, part of five consecutive hits off starter Jonathan Cannon, and Jared Young added another two-run homer.
- Soto, earning $765 million but struggling this season with a.228 batting average—54 points lower than his career norm—went hitless in four at-bats. Meanwhile, Nimmo recounted, "I noticed him on the ground and immediately tried to return to first base."
- Alonso described the play as quite confusing and suggested it's unlikely a similar situation will occur again this season, while the Mets' offense made sure the mistake didn't ultimately affect the game's outcome.
