Mets' Soto Returns, Aims to End Losing Streak

0:00It's April 22nd. This is New York Metz News Today, Team News powered by AI. The New York Metz are in the middle of their worst stretch in years, dropping 12 straight gains for the first time since 2002. That ties for the sixth longest skid in franchise history, and with a 7 win 16 loss record, their dead last in Major League Baseball. This nightmare started right after star Outfielder Juan Soto hit the injured list back on April 3rd with a right calf strain. After that, the 27-year-old was on fire, batting 355 with a home run in five RBIs in just eight games. The team actually won their first three without him, but then everything fell apart, including three shutouts and no game with more than six runs, scored. Now comes some good news. Soto's back on the line up tonight as the designated hitter, batting second against the Minnesota Twins. The Metz faced the twins at 7-10pm Eastern Time at City Field, and with Soto swinging again, they might finally turn the ship around.
