With two runners on, right fielder Juan Soto stepped to the plate with an opportunity to open things up early for the Mets. Instead, the slugger, who’s batting .342 (39-for-114) with 13 home runs and 26 RBIs in his last 34 games, laid down a sacrifice bunt.

Carlos Mendoza doesn't necessarily want to see Juan Soto squaring up to bunt with two on and nobody out, but on Saturday afternoon it worked.
