The margins for error are always going to be thin on a cold, wet night like Monday, but Juan Soto is a safe bet any night.
An RBI double by the star slugger scored Francisco Lindor in the third inning of the series-opener against the Miami Marlins. Kodai Senga and the bullpen made the run stand up until the top of the eighth when the Mets finally managed an insurance run. The 2-0 win extended their win streak to five games.
Facing the Marlins for the second time in a week, the Mets (7-3) avoided facing ace Sandy Alcantara, with the 2022 Cy Young Award winner having been added to the paternity list earlier in the day.
