NEW YORK — Mike Soroka’s family and friends came all the way from Western Canada to see his major league debut Tuesday night. Back quickly from a sore thumb, Yoenis Cespedes homered and got three hits for the NL East-leading Mets (17-10). Soroka (1-0) became the latest top prospect called up by the Braves and fit right in with an excellent performance. Mets: Cespedes hurt his left thumb sliding headfirst Sunday in San Diego. … RHP Anthony Swarzak (strained left oblique) and C Kevin Plawecki (broken left hand) are healing slower than hoped, Alderson said.
