Carlos Mendoza doesn't necessarily want to see Juan Soto squaring up to bunt with two on and nobody out, but on Saturday afternoon it worked.

With two runners on, right fielder Juan Soto stepped to the plate with an opportunity to open things up early for the Mets. Instead, the slugger, who’s batting .342 (39-for-114) with 13 home runs and 26 RBIs in his last 34 games, laid down a sacrifice bunt.
