Overview

• Soto’s two homers against Atlanta were the latest in his 27 career multi-homer games before age 27, surpassing Jimmie Foxx’s 26.
• The victory improved New York to 46-34 as Soto’s 18th and 19th homers moved him past Pete Alonso for the team lead.
• With nine home runs in June, Soto has surged back into All-Star contention and is on pace for a third straight 30-homer season.
• He became the first Met to record 10 homers, 20 runs and 20 walks in a single calendar month during his blistering June.
• Manager Carlos Mendoza praised the performance as “greatness,” and Citi Field has seen near-capacity crowds since Soto’s breakout.
