Cheers rained down on Juan Soto.

He had just looked at a third strike curveball from Max Fried.

More cheers rained down on Soto when he whiffed on a full-count sinker after a wild pitch from Fried had allowed the Mets to tie the game in the fifth inning.

At the end of an 0-for-4 night, Soto finished the Subway Series 1-for-10 with four walks and three strikeouts — and batting .246 with an .822 OPS for the season.
