Soto played as the second right fielder in an away game against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park on the 2nd (Korea time) and led the team to a 10-8 victory by swinging the bat with two hits, six RBIs, two runs and two walks in three at-bats, including a bases-loaded walk.
With Soto on its back, the Mets held the first of three consecutive away games against Detroit, the AL's strongest, and marked 74 wins and 64 losses, keeping second place in the NL East and third place in the wild card.
Soto has had four homers, 11 RBIs and seven runs in his last four games. He hit two hits, one walk, two RBIs and two runs in three at-bats against the Miami Marlins on the 30th of last month, and hit two hits, two walks, three RBIs and three runs in two at-bats against Miami on the 31st.
With this, Soto marked a batting average of 0.257 (124 hits in 483 at-bats), 36 home runs, 90 RBIs, 104 runs, 113 walks, 26 steals, a on-base percentage of 0.397, a slugging percentage of 0.518 and an OPS of 0.915.
In the NL home run category, he ranked third after Philadelphia Phillies Kyle Schwarber (49) and LA Dodgers Shohei Ohtani (45) and ranked fourth in RBIs, second in runs scored, first in walks, and ninth in stolen bases. It is now difficult to accuse Soto of failing to pay the ransom. Soto wore a Mets uniform last winter, signing an FA contract for 15 years and 765 million dollars (about 1.66 trillion won), the largest in sports history.
The second half of the year is cheerful and explosive. He has a batting average of 0.288 (30 hits in 104 at-bats) with 11 homers, 28 RBIs and 29 runs scored in 29 games since August. In June, when he was in his best condition this season (0.322 batting average, 11 home runs, 20 RBIs) "He completely regained his sense when he was selected as the player of the month".
Soto, who drew a walk in his first at-bat in the top of the first inning, was tricked by Detroit right-hander Charlie Morton's fifth curve and struck out swinging in the second inning.

It is the first time in about two years that Soto hit a grand slam since an away game against the Oakland Athletics on Sept. 18, 2023, when he was with the San Diego Padres. At that time, he had three hits, two home runs, and six RBIs in five at-bats, including a grand slam. Six RBIs is a career-high tie. Morton, who was hit with a bases-loaded walk by Soto, was substituted.
Soto's bat didn't stop here. When he hit a triple in the top of the sixth inning with one out and runners on the first and second bases, he called in both players and widened the gap to 8-6 again. Drew Sommers pulled a 92.6-mile sinker on his second pitch and hit a ball on the right-field line before running to third base.
Somers also went down the mound after giving up a triple that cost Soto the lead. Soto's first triple of the season became the winning hit as the Mets held the lead until the end. Soto got a walk in his last at-bat in the eighth inning.
If Soto continues his current pace, he will mark 42 home runs, 106 RBIs, and 122 runs. He is second to 41 home runs, 109 RBIs and 128 runs scored when he was with the Yankees last year, when he was a career high.
