  • Juan Soto snapped a 17-game home run drought with a 404-foot blast in the fourth inning, his first long ball since May 9 and a key spark for the offense.
  • The lineup erupted early with Brett Baty’s three-run triple in the first inning followed by back-to-back home runs from Brandon Nimmo and Soto in the fourth.
  • New York has won six of its last seven games and secured its third consecutive series victory, reversing early-season inconsistency.
  • After the game, Senga said he’ll address late-inning fatigue and Soto stressed the importance of sustaining his renewed swing moving forward.
