He’s up against right-hander Michael Soroka, who makes his fifth start of the year. It’s been an up-and-down year for Soroka, who is 2-2 with a 5.95 ERA, a 4.14 FIP, and 23 strikeouts against four walks in 19.1 innings. He allowed three runs in 5.2 innings against the Baltimore Orioles in his last start..
