ABC News | Ronald Blum: Juan Soto made his return to Yankee Stadium in a Mets uniform for the first time, and there was an expectation that the boos would rain down on him. Honestly, it was a little tame in reality — the crowd rose to boo him in his first at-bat, but Soto took it in stride and tipped his helmet to the fans. The fans in right field did turn their backs on him as he jogged out to take the field for the first inning, which was an interesting twist, but overall there wasn’t a particularly malicious vibe from the stands and the players themselves were more than cordial in greeting Soto around home plate during batting practice. Soto, to his credit, walked three times but flew out to end the game with runners on second and third.

The Athletic | Tyler Kepner ($): Paul Goldschmidt isn’t getting confused for a speedster anytime soon, especially not at 37 years old with a first baseman’s frame. The seven-time All-Star swiped a surprise bag in the ninth inning on Tuesday that led to the team scoring the tying run thanks to a pinch-runner, putting him at 172 career stolen bases. He’s nearly caught Joe Kuhel’s mark of 178 steals, and there’s a narrow window where he could challenge Jeff Bagwell and his 202 swiped bags for the most steals by a first baseman in the last 100 years. Will Goldschmidt reach it? He’s not actively gunning for it by any means, but he’ll take his chances when the moment is right and see how close he gets.
