The New York Mets needed help. Losers of 12 straight, the Mets entered Wednesday's game against the visiting Minnesota Twins ranked No. 30 in runs scored (75) and wins (seven).
With the news of Juan Soto returning -- and presumably speaking to his teammates -- the Mets responded with a 3-2 victory at Citi Field . Soto admitted he did not reach out to any of his teammates while he was sidelined with a calf injury. Throughout Soto's injured reserve stint, the Mets' losses compounded.
The four-time All-Star remained silent since April 3. "They've been on the road most of the time, so I haven't talked to them," he told reporters before his return. Talkative or not, the Mets received the help they needed Wednesday.
