With the game tied 2-2, the Yankees loaded the bases after two outs in the eighth inning on a double and two walks, but Mets reliever Reed Garrett escaped when DJ LeMahieu hit a rope right at Soto in right field.

Juan Soto drew three consecutive walks to open the New York Mets' showdown with the New York Yankees on Friday night, although his former team got the last laugh.

As New York Mets star Juan Soto made his return to the Yankees' stadium in a shower of boos, the result was the home team getting a 6-2 win. There was no doubt hard feelings from fans after Soto left the Yankees for the Mets on a $765 million contract, but the star player would express how he feels about his former team after his return.
