Soto’s tie-breaking solo shot against Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly was his sixth round-tripper of the season and put New York ahead for good in this one. The gargantuan solo shot traveled 427 feet into the right-center field seats and left his bat with a stratospheric 110.9 mph exit velocity, according to Statcast. The 26-year-old generational talent took lefty reliever Jalen Beeks deep with an opposite-field solo blast in the eighth inning to record his second multi-homer performance in seven games since May 1. He also tacked on a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, just for good measure. Soto got off to a frosty start by his lofty standards to open the year, but he’s been hotter than a firecracker over the past week. Are you not entertained?

Senga struggled mightily with his control in this one, matching a career-high with five free passes, but the walks didn’t come back to haunt him, somehow. He finished with four strikeouts and managed to limit Arizona’s high-powered offense to just a pair of hits over six strong frames. The 32-year-old righty has allowed two earned runs or fewer in each of his seven starts to open the season, resulting in a microscopic 1.16 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 35/17 K/BB ratio across 38 2/3 innings of work. He’ll square off against the Pirates at home on Tuesday in his next outing.

Poche provides the Mets with some badly-needed left-handed relief depth in the wake of season-ending injuries to A.J. Minter (lat) and Danny Young (elbow). The 31-year-old southpaw was jettisoned from the division-rival Nationals’ 40-man roster last week and subsequently went unclaimed on waivers after struggling to a bloated 11.42 ERA over 8 2/3 innings (13 appearances) this season. He’ll head to Triple-A Syracuse for now, but figures to join New York’s bullpen at some point soon.

Nimmo appeared to re-aggravate an ongoing left knee issue during Tuesday’s game at Chase Field on an awkward play in the left-field corner, but managed to remain in the contest. The 32-year-old on-base machine will likely be limited to DH duty for the next couple days in an effort to keep him off his feet and manage the issue. It’s a positive sign for the Mets and fantasy managers that he’s able to remain in the lineup without needing extra time off.

Not only was Abreu productive, but he was also clutch. His first long ball tied this game at two. Then, his run-scoring double tied it at three and nearly gave his Red Sox the lead before Kristian Campbell was thrown out at home. His eighth inning home run was less dramatic, just adding insurance to the lead. A funny note though, this was the third multi-homer game of Abreu’s career and all three have come against the Rangers. Nevertheless, his strong start has blended nicely into a tremendous season and the Red Sox would be hard-pressed to take his .980 OPS out of the lineup any time soon.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told reporters he’s hopeful O’Neill will return for this weekend’s series against the Angels out in Los Angeles. The 29-year-old slugging outfielder, who has been out since late April with neck inflammation, went 2-for-6 in a pair of rehab contests.

Butler had led off in 33 of his 34 starts prior to today. Moving Jacob Wilson up to that spot made sense, but it was jarring to see Butler all the way down to sixth versus a right-hander; there wasn’t any reason for him to be hitting behind Miguel Andujar or JJ Bleday. We wouldn’t expect Butler to hit so low for very long.
