Soroka allowed one run on four hits and a hit batsman while striking out two without walking a batter over six innings in a no-decision Friday versus the Rockies.
Analysis:
Soroka didn't have his best strikeout stuff, but he gave the Rockies little to work with. He's allowed just four runs over 24.1 innings in May, adding a 21:5 K:BB this month. Soroka has given up two runs or fewer in eight of his 10 starts overall, pitching to a 3.27 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 57:14 K:BB through 55 innings. This is the closest he's looked to his promising early years before injuries ravaged his career, but durability remains the biggest question for the right-hander. He'll look to keep rolling with a projected road start in San Francisco next week.
