The New York Mets dropped their second straight game on Thursday, but the $765 million man went 2-for-3 with two home runs in the defeat.

For the first time at Citi Field Juan Soto (The New York Met) has hit a home run! @HowieRose @KeithRaad @PatMcCarthy_ @MetsBooth #LGM The @Mets still trail in this one but you can hear the comeback live here: https://t.co/TmVvIFMPbx pic.twitter.com/zi22hUULlw

Soto’s solo shots were not enough to prevent a 4-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on a day Mets ace Kodai Senga lasted only four innings and the rest of the offense struggled.
