Juan Soto exits game early in big Mets concern
Key Points:
- Juan Soto exited the Mets' 10-3 win over the Giants after the first inning due to right calf tightness and was replaced in left field by Tyrone Taylor.
- Soto had a strong start, singling in his only at-bat and extending his hitting streak to eight games, with a .355 average and .928 OPS this season.
- Manager Carlos Mendoza announced that Soto would undergo imaging on Saturday to assess the injury.
- Despite Soto’s early exit, the Mets had a powerful offensive performance, scoring 10 runs on 15 hits, highlighted by two homers from Francisco Alvarez and Marcus Semien’s first homer as a Met.
- Tyrone Taylor, who replaced Soto defensively, went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in the game.
