Gregory Soto, activated Sunday after being acquired from the Orioles in a late-night trade Thursday, pitched a perfect seventh in his Mets debut. Reed Garrett allowed a leadoff single to Adames in the eighth to bring up Chapman, but this time, the big third baseman struck out swinging on a splitter near his ankles.

The 31-year-old went 3-for-5 at the plate on Friday against the Giants, including slugging his 20th home run of the season, which helped propel the Mets to their fifth straight victory, 8-1. It was also Lindor's first long ball since July 11 against the Kansas City Royals.
