Mike Soroka dazzles but Braves fall to Mets, 1-0 A dominant pitching performance by both teams.

JULY 24, 2020 • TALKINGCHOP.COM

Tosses six scoreless frames Soroka tossed six scoreless innings in Friday's loss to the Mets but didn't factor into the decision. He allowed four hits and no walks while striking out three.

Impact Soroka served as the youngest Opening Day starter in franchise history Friday, and he rose to the occasion by stifling the Mets' offense as he picked up a quality start. However, the Braves' bats were quieted by Jacob deGrom, so Soroka had to settle for a no-decision. The 22-year-old posted a 2.68 ERA and 142:41 K:BB over 174.2 innings with the Braves last season. His next start should come at home Wednesday against the Rays.

Tabbed as Opening Day starter Soroka will be the Braves' starter for their Opening Day contest against the Mets on July 24.

Impact Soroka was dominant for the Braves last season, recording a 2.68 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over 29 starts, and he'll now serve as the team's youngest starter in franchise history. The team said in late June that they will be cautious with their starters to begin the season, so the 22-year-old may not see the innings counts that he's been used to in the past. However, manager Brian Snitker's announcement Tuesday signals the confidence that the Braves have in Soroka heading into the season.
