Strict tried to make it clear that Soto had nothing to grab. When the Braves-Kanden went to Dugout, he went for a moment to inform Soto that the fastball he threw on a 3-2 count that seemed to land in the inside corner of the strike zone was “right down the middle.”

Stride repeated his argument three times.
Soto drew a few trips in his two record performances before the fifth-in-the-in-line strike. He landed out in the eighth lap.
Stride got the victory on Tuesday and improved to 3-5 on the season. After leading the National League in victories and reception of the Cy Young Award in 2023, rioted on only two games last season.

He injured the ulnar collateral ligament in the elbow and underwent an operation last year. He missed the beginning of the 2025 campaign, but has started eight starts since he returned to the Braves rotation.
During the high season, Soto accepted a historic 15-year contract of $ 765 million with Mets, the most lucrative contract in professional sports history. He has delivered 17 home runs and 43 RBIs in 79 games this season.
