Open Extended ReactionsBOSTON -- New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said he'll talk to Juan Soto about hustling out of the batter's box after the slugger watched his would-be home run bounce off the Green Monster for a single Monday night against the Boston Red Sox.
The ball hit about two-thirds of the way up, and Soto was able to manage only a single.
Soto stole second on the first pitch to the next batter, but the $765 million star ended up stranded on third.
But Soto had also failed to run hard out of the box on a groundout Sunday night at Yankee Stadium.
"We'll talk to him about it," Mendoza said.
