It usually doesn’t take long for Sodto to hit his first home run with a new team. He did it in Washington right away. With the Yankees, it was his third game. With the Mets, his second. Sometimes you got to let people know what neighborhood you from. That ball is squared up. Lor gets a breaking ball and drills it to right center. Overcomes the center fielder straw tagging is Siri. He comes in to score and the Mets have a walk-off win at City Field. Lor wastes no time, jumps on a first pitch breaking ball and lines a sacrifice fly. The Mets win it 3-2.

He struck him out and the ball game is over. 99 mph gas upstairs and Edwin Diaz notches the save and the Mets even up the series with a 3-2 thriller. That was the pitch, Ron. Right. I was wrong. Wow. He had a very good fast ball today. Every once in a while, it’s like, I’m going to throw this ball as hard as I can. See if you can hit it. Mets on the bases loaded and nobody out.
