Gregory Soto, activated Sunday after being acquired from the Orioles in a late-night trade Thursday, pitched a perfect seventh in his Mets debut.

Brandon Nimmo credits a mindset shift for his 2025 resurgence as the New York Mets chase their first NL East division title in a decade.

Nimmo went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 8-1 win over the Giants.
