But Juan Soto spoiled the party. The Mets slugger hit a deep fly ball to center field on a 1-0 fastball that Williams left over the plate. Centerfielder Angel Martinez gave chase and made a play on the ball at the wall. But the ball snuck over his glove and just over the wall for a home run before bouncing back into the field of play.

Gavin Williams of the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday was two outs from throwing the first no-hitter of the 2025 Major League Baseball season, but New York Mets slugger Juan Soto was not in a cooperative mood.

Juan Soto broke up the no-hitter with one out in the ninth when he rocketed Williams’ 1-and-0 fastball 420 feet to straightaway center and just over the outstretched glove of Angel Martinez, climbing the wall in an attempt to make the desperation grab.
