New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto homered twice in a 7–3 win over the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field on June 25, lifting his season total to 19 and recording his 27th career multi-homer game. According to MLB and CBS Sports, the 26-year-old Dominican became the youngest player to reach that mark, passing Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx for the most multi-homer games before age 27. Soto’s first blast ignited a five-run fourth inning off rookie right-hander Didier Fuentes, and he added another shot in the seventh. The victory snapped a five-game skid against Atlanta and moved New York to 47-34, a half-game behind Philadelphia in the National League East. Clay Holmes allowed one run over five innings, while Edwin Díaz secured his 16th save. The Mets slugger has not slowed since. Soto launched his 20th home run two nights later—his 11th in June—and belted No. 21 on July 4, a two-run first-inning drive that pulled the Mets even with the New York Yankees after Jasson Domínguez and Aaron Judge opened the Independence Day Subway Series with back-to-back shots. Soto is batting .320 with an OPS above 1.150 since June 1, reinforcing his candidacy for another All-Star appearance as New York fights to stay in the divisional race.
