The New York Mets started the home half of their July 5 game against the New York Yankees with Starling Marte hitting a leadoff double and then Francisco Lindor working a walk. Just about everybody in Citi Field expected (and hoped for) Soto to swing for the fences against his former team in this situation. Instead, Soto squared around for a sacrifice bunt, thus advancing both runners while ending the threat he poses at the plate. Bunting has become a lost art in Major League Baseball.
