    Among big-name Mets additions over the past 30-plus years, only Bobby Bonilla (22 games in 1992) went longer without hitting his first homer at home. Carlos Beltran homered in his 13th home game in 2005, and Soto’s current teammate Francisco Lindor went deep for the first time in his 11th home game in 2021.

    “I don’t have any pressure,” Soto said. “These guys [and] Mendoza have been really clear with me, to make me feel comfortable going out there and playing.

    “I don’t have any pressure at all. It’s just two homers that weren’t enough to get the win.”
