Juan Soto is still adjusting to playing for the Mets but he may have turned a corner Saturday, coming through with a clutch, two-run double.

Soto, who whose long double hit the top of the wall in right center field and narrowly missed being a grand slam, brought home Brett Baty and Francisco Lindor, but it wasn’t a bases-clearing hit as Starling Marte was thrown out at the plate to end the inning. Nevertheless, Soto’s hit was still a big one that gave the Mets a 4-2 lead.

For the last 10 days, baseball enthusiasts wondered what was wrong with Juan Soto. After signing a 15-year, $765 million contract with the Mets last winter, Soto was expected to be the big man on the team.

Each Juan Soto at-bat has seemingly become an invitation for criticism, from his lack of hustle twice in the past week to him bizarrely staring down seven straight pitches — including six strikes — in his first two at-bats against the Red Sox on Wednesday night.

It’s a chicken-and-egg scenario — is he swinging less because he’s hitting less or the other way around? — but manager Carlos Mendoza did agree Friday that Soto could benefit from being more aggressive in the box.
