Even when Juan Soto gets a hit these days, it leads to an out for the Mets.

Soto came up with one out in the bottom of the first and Brandon Nimmo on first on Tuesday and hit a liner to center that White Sox center fielder Michael A. Taylor made a diving attempt to catch.

The ball bounced into Taylor’s glove, but Nimmo, who’d rounded second, thought Taylor caught the ball and raced back to first base.

Soto, still running, went by Nimmo, who was headed in the other direction.

Nimmo made it back to first base safely, but Soto was ruled out for passing the baserunner for the second out. 

The Mets recovered quickly, though, as Pete Alonso followed with a two-run homer to center to tie the game at 2-2 before Brett Baty singled and Jared Young then hit another two-run shot to give them a 4-2 lead.
