Braves starter Mike Soroka allowed one run on five hits and three walks over 5 2/3 innings while striking out seven in a win over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. The win was his first of the season.
Fantasy Impact
The Braves have a plethora of starting pitching options, but many of them are either injured or struggling to start the season, giving a top prospect like Soroka an opportunity with the big league squad. He now has a 1.69 ERA through his first two starts and should be a mainstay in the rotation as long as he can continue to pitch well. His next start is scheduled to come against the San Diego Padres at home.
