A video of Mets fans hurling beer cans at Juan Soto went viral after the team’s 3-2 loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

The Mets lengthened their lead in the race for the final National League playoff spot with a 6-1 victory over the Padres.

Soto’s two-run triple in the sixth put the Mets ahead 8-6. Torrens singled leading off for his third hit of the game and Lindor was hit by a pitch before Soto delivered, giving him six RBIs in the game to tie a career high. Brandon Nimmo brought in Soto with a two-out single.
