Joakim Soria gets the win in relief on Wednesday
by Dan Harris | Thu, Jun 22nd 10:13am EDT
Joakim Soria pitched a scoreless eighth inning against the Red Sox on Wednesday. He notched his third win of the season when Salvador Perez hit a grand slam in the bottom of the eighth inning to give the Royals the lead for good.
Fantasy Impact:
Soria has had a mediocre season for a late-inning reliever, but does have three wins and 38 strikeouts in 29 innings. With a bloated contract, the Royals may have a difficult time moving him at the trade deadline. That could be good news for Soria owners, as Kelvin Herrera is a prime trade candidate, leaving Soria as the likely ninth-inning man. He's a decent speculative add for saves-chasers.
