The Atlanta Braves defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 12-6 and moved them back to third place.

3. We may have watched Mike Soroka’s best outing
At first glance, you’re probably thinking, “huh?” But a mark of a great pitcher to me is when they can battle and still give the team a chance to win even when they don’t have good stuff.
That was exactly the case for Mike Soroka on Thursday.
The Phillies lit him up in the first inning for 4 runs, and at one point it was questionable if Soroka was even going to finish up 1 inning.
