The New York Mets acquired one of the best bats in baseball this offseason as Juan Soto came over from the New York Yankees. Soto hit 41 homers last year, so Mets fans were excited to watch the deep balls fly out of Citi Field. Well, during the month of April, they saw none. Soto hit zero home runs at Citi Field during the month of April, but he ended the drought on Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

“Juan Soto’s homerless drought at Citi Field is over,” Bob Nightengale said in a post. “He hits his 1st homer at Citi Field since joining the Mets against the Arizona D-backs.”

Juan Soto hit an opposite field shot in the sixth inning that got the Mets within one run of Arizona.

That first homer wasn’t enough for Soto. He knows that he needs to make up for lost time after hitting none at home in April, so he launched another nuke to almost the same spot in the eighth inning. That made it a 3-2 ball game to once again cut the deficit to one.
