Juan Soto hit a two-run homer into the right field fountains, leading the New York Mets past the Kansas City Royals 3-1.

Frankie Montas allowed one run while pitching into the sixth inning, and Juan Soto clubbed a two-run homer, securing the New York Mets their first road series win in more than a month with Saturday's 3-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals.

Perhaps it was because reporters entered the locker room as the embargo was being lifted on which players had made the All-Star team. Mets first baseman Pete Alonso and closer Edwin Díaz were announced, alongside shortstop Francisco Lindor, who will make his first start in the Midsummer Classic next week.
