Juan Soto Homers Twice to Lead the Mets to a 6-4 Win over the Phillies

Soto’s 30th career multihomer game helped New York build an early lead, and his sliding catch denied Bryce Harper extra bases.

  • On Thursday night, New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto hit two solo home runs and made a sliding catch to rob Bryce Harper as the Mets defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 6-4.
  • Tied at 3-3 in the seventh inning, pinch-hitter Eric Wagaman delivered a tiebreaking RBI single before Marcus Semien followed with a two-run triple off reliever Jose Alvarado.
  • Reliever Huascar Brazobán earned the win in relief of starter Sean Manaea, while closer Devin Williams recorded his 11th save. Alec Bohm collected two RBIs for Philadelphia.
  • Philadelphia shortstop Trea Turner exited after the second inning with a bruised right calf, marking the second time this week he left a game after being hit by a pitch.
  • Following a rare Friday off while Philadelphia hosts a World Cup match, the teams resume their three-game series Saturday night with RHP Freddy Peralta starting for New York against LHP Cristopher Sánchez.
