This article was originally published on www.si.com/mlb/mets as Mets manager reveals attempt to solve Juan Soto's slump. While very few players on the New York Mets are performing to their capabilities right now, none are under more of a spotlight than star slugger Juan Soto.

Juan Soto was the sole reason the Mets didn’t get no-hit in Wednesday’s 4-1 loss to the Guardians, but Boomer Esiason has no sympathy for the superstar outfielder.

Cleveland Guardians pitcher Gavin Williams no-hit the Mets through 8.1 innings until Juan Soto launched a solo home run in the ninth to get on the board. It didn't make a difference in the outcome, though, as Cleveland won 4-1. New York is now 1-8 in the last nine games.
