New York swept four games from St. Louis this weekend and established a two-game lead over Philly in the NL East. All of this comes with mere human contributions from Soto, whose .240 average and three home runs belies his .374 OBP and a 128 adjusted OPS.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo is predicting a breakout for Juan Soto following their 7-4 win over the Louisville Cardinals on Sunday. "He’s going to be as hot as a firecracker here pretty soon," Nimmo said, per Newsday Sports' Tim Healey.

Juan Soto had a sincere reaction to the unexpected standing ovation he receive from Mets fans, who were attempting to spark the talented slugger.
