Juan Soto's debut game with the New York Mets concluded in unceremonious fashion as Soto struck out to end the game and fall to the Houston Astros.
The Astros held a 3-0 lead for much of the game before Francisco Lindor hit a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning to bring the score to 3-1. With two outs, runners on first and third base and the game on the line, Soto came up to the plate against Astros closer Josh Hader. Hader pitched three balls to start the plate appearance, but then struck out Soto, sealing the Astros win and Mets loss.
