Soto's Return Sparks Mets' First Win

0:00On April 23rd, the New York Mets were in deep trouble, dropping 12 straight games and sitting dead last and run scored with just 75 and wins with only 7. But Juan Soto's return from a calf injury sparked a 3-2 win over the Minnesota twins at City Field, snapping that brutal skid. Soto slotted in as the designated hitter, batting second against the twins rookie starter, Connor Prelipp. He went one for three with a walk, including a single in the 8th before getting picked off first. Their first victory since April 7th felt like a lifeline. No one expected this historic low. The Mets became the first team ever to lose 12 in a row after posting a winning record the year before. Fans and analysts were buzzing about the slums' toll, with the lineup starving for offense. Soto admitted he never reached out to his sideline teammates, saying they were mostly on the road. Still, his presence alone lifted the squad, and now all eyes are on whether the 27-year-old star can keep delivering. With April wrapping up, the Mets are banking on Soto's bat to flick their season.
