In a disappointing turn of events for the New York Mets, outfielder Juan Soto left Friday night's game against the San Francisco Giants in the first inning due to tightness in his right calf. Soto managed to hit a single off pitcher Tyler Mahle but appeared to slow down while attempting to advance from first to third on a run-scoring single by Bo Bichette. He was subsequently forced out at home plate when Brett Baty grounded into a double play. Following this, Tyrone Taylor took over in left field for the Mets. Soto, 27, is currently in the second season of a historic 15-year, $765 million contract with the Mets and had an impressive performance last season, hitting 43 home runs and driving in 105 RBIs. He has hit safely in all eight games this season, entering the game with a career batting average of .282 and a total of 245 home runs since starting his Major League Baseball career with the Washington Nationals in 2018.
