New York Mets defeat Tampa Bay Rays 10-4

The New York Mets defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 10-4 at Tropicana Field. Rookie Nick Morabito made a significant impact in his first Major League game, recording his first big-league hit with a three-run double in the seventh inning and making a key defensive play in left field.

Juan Soto contributed to the victory with his 23rd home run of the season. This home run also marked a historic milestone, as Soto tied Giancarlo Stanton for the ninth-most career home runs hit before turning 28 in MLB history.

In prospect news, the Mets are expected to recall top pitching prospect Jonah Tong from Triple-A Syracuse for the upcoming series against the Miami Marlins. Tong has shown strong recent form, including a near no-hitter in his recent outings.
