Mets slugger Juan Soto leaves game against Giants in first inning with right calf tightness

SAN FRANCISCO — New York Mets slugger Juan Soto left Friday night's game against the San Francisco Giants in the first inning with right calf tightness after singling off Tyler Mahle; Tyrone Taylor replaced him in left field and the Mets continued play without him. The Mets snapped a three-game skid Friday, winning 10-3 as Francisco Alvarez hit two homers and rookie Nolan McLean retired his first 15 batters; manager Carlos Mendoza said Soto will undergo imaging Saturday to evaluate the calf tightness and determine next steps.
