A Rockies-Mets Friday night ticket proved to be worth showing up for — especially if one was there to see the Mets’ $765 million man.

In the bottom of the third inning, as the Mets led 1-0, Juan Soto finally broke his cold streak, at least in one at-bat.

On a 2-2 pitch from Colorado lefty Kyle Freeland, Soto laced a ball 112.8 mph to right-center field, earning himself an RBI double after knocking in Francisco Lindor, who had singled.

The hit snapped an 0-for-17 skid.

Soto quietly celebrated standing on second base, clapping and pointing to the sky as the Citi Field crowd went wild for the star, who they have been patiently waiting to get into his groove since moving from The Bronx to Queens.

He followed that double up with a leadoff single to center in the sixth.

In the last seven games before Friday night, Soto was 2-for-27.

Through his first 55 games with the Yankees more than a year ago, Soto was batting .310 with 14 home runs.

Fans are likely hoping Friday night’s effort is a good omen for what’s to come.
