Mets prospect Jett Williams leaves game after being hit in helmet by pitch
There was a scary moment involving Mets prospect Jett Williams in Friday night's game with the Binghamton Rumble Ponies.
In the first inning of the Binghamton-Somerset game, Patriots right-hander Carlos Lagrange threw a 1-2 fastball up and in to Williams. However, the pitch, which SNY prospects writer Joe DeMayo clocked at 98 mph, ran in and hit Williams near the ear flap of his batting helmet. Williams collapsed to the ground before he sat up as the trainer checked him out. After a minute or two, Williams got back up and walked off under his own power and was taken out of the game.

There was no immediate update on Williams' condition and his status moving forward is undetermined.
Williams, DeMayo's No. 2 Mets prospect, was having a solid first full season in Double-A. In 47 games, Williams is slashing .277/.381/.446 with four home runs, 12 doubles, 17 stolen bases and an OPS of .827.
Entering Friday's game, Williams had a two-game hitting streak going and reached base at least once in the last 10 games.

Mets' Juan Soto just needed to play Rockies to hit dingers again
The post Mets' Juan Soto just needed to play Rockies to hit dingers again appeared first on ClutchPoints. As New York Mets star Juan Soto snapped his 17-game home run drought on Saturday against the Colorado Rockies, he would hit another one on Sunday afternoon, making it back-to-back games with a dinger. While some may think that Juan Soto has been disappointing with the Mets thus far, what was needed for him to get back on track was likely to face the Rockies. Advertisement During New York's 5-3 win over lowly Colorado, Soto would hit a solo shot in the bottom of the eighth inning to give the team a two-run cushion. It's the 10th home run of the season so far with Soto as the ball looked huge coming to the plate, with the star capitalizing on it. Many teams have got the upper hand on the Rockies since they're 9-50 on the season, as it could have been what Soto needed to live up to his over $700 million contract. Speaking after Saturday's game, Soto acknowledged there is a 'long way to go,' according to ESPN. 'It's a great feeling when you feel the support like that,' Soto said. 'There's still a long way to go. It feels good, but we've got to keep working.' Mets' Juan Soto headed in the right direction Brad Penner-Imagn Images With Soto achieving some history with the Mets, the back-to-back games with a home run are a great step in the right direction, as he had a relatively slow start to the season. New York manager Carlos Mendoza spoke after Saturday's contest about his swing. Advertisement 'He put a really good swing on it,' Mendoza said. 'For him to hit it out of the ballpark like that on a day that the conditions are not in his favor, that's pretty impressive.' The 8-2 win on Saturday included Soto hitting a home run shortly after Brandon Nimmo, who said that 'it's a sign of good things to come.' 'Francisco [Lindor] and I were doing our picture down there,' Nimmo said. 'Heard the sound of the bat and the crowd going wild. We looked out and were able to see him go the other way. That's when he's the best. I think weather's starting to heat up, we're flipping the script into June, this field will start to play a little more fair. I think it's just a sign of good things to come, great to go back-to-back with him.' New York starts a four-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night as they are first in the AL East with a 37-22 record.

Phillies surge past Mets with six-run seventh inning, claim first place in NL East
PHILADELPHIA -- Bryson Stott hit a bases-clearing triple in a six-run seventh inning and the Philadelphia Phillies surged past the slumping New York Mets into first place in the NL East with a 10-2 victory on Friday night. Nick Castellanos homered for the Phillies, who opened the three-game set between division rivals with their eighth win in their last nine games. Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil homered for New York, which has lost seven straight. Reliever Reed Garrett (2-3) started the seventh for the Mets but failed to retire any of the five batters he faced after opening the frame by giving up doubles to Brandon Marsh and Trea Turner. Alec Bohm's RBI single put Philadelphia in front 4-2, ending Garrett's night. Justin Garza then surrendered an RBI single to Castellanos before Stott's drive off the wall in left-center. After Phillies starter Zack Wheeler could only get through five scoreless innings, New York took advantage against Taijuan Walker. Alonso opened the sixth by hitting a 90-mph cutter into the batter's eye in center for his 18th of the season. McNeil tied it with a drive to right. After Walker got an out and allowed a single, Tanner Banks (2-0) came in and blanked the Mets over 1 2/3 strong innings. J.T. Realmuto followed Castellanos closely home on Stott's hit, sliding safely to the plate at nearly the same time. 4 — Number of strong defensive plays by Phillies first baseman Otto Kemp. Filling in for injured slugger Bryce Harper, Kemp made good plays in the fifth and sixth to catch foul balls off the bat of Tyrone Taylor. In the seventh, snared Turner's long throw from second to put out Brandon Nimmo before ending the inning with a diving stop of Juan Soto's hard liner before flipping to Banks. Mets RHP Griffin Canning (6-3, 3.80 ERA) opposes Philadelphia RHP Mick Abel (2-0, 2.21) on Saturday night. ___
