The highly anticipated matchup between the Mets and Yankees featured a major storyline: Juan Soto’s return to Yankee Stadium after signing with the Mets. Upon his first at-bat, Soto received a mixed reception, tipping his helmet and mouthing “thank you” before taking a five-pitch walk, while Mets fans cheered. However, Yankees fans jeered and chanted against him, highlighting the tension surrounding his decision to leave the Yankees after helping them reach the World Series.
