Brett Baty had a bases-clearing triple off Antonio Senzatela (1-10) in a four-run first inning, which Tyrone Taylor capped with a single. Brandon Nimmo and Soto homered on consecutive pitches in the fourth.

Soto was serenaded with chants of “JUAN SO-TO” from fans in the right field seats in the top of the fifth, when he turned and raised his arms in acknowledgment.

Jeff McNeil homered in the eighth.

Kodai Senga (6-3) allowed two runs on two hits over 6 2/3 innings. He retired a career-high 17 straight batters between Ezequiel Tovar’s one-out homer in the first and Tovar’s walk leading off the seventh.

Thairo Estrada chased Senga with an RBI single.

Senzatela, the first pitcher to reach 10 losses this season, allowed seven runs in four innings.
