New York., With a standout performance from Carlos Rodón, who won his fourth consecutive decision, the Yankees defeated the Mets 6-2 in Juan Soto's return to Yankee Stadium.

Soto, who left the New York Yankees for a record $765 million contract to join the Mets, was booed by his former team's fans, who stood up to express their disapproval when he batted in the first inning.

The Dominican baseball player responded by waving to the stands, taking off his helmet and placing it over his heart. He only managed to collect three walks, one ground ball, and one fly ball.
