Atlanta Braves’ righty Mike Soroka gave up seven hits (three of them homers) and four runs total in six innings of work on the mound in SunTrust Park last Sunday, but tonight, the 22-year-old rookie tossed six scoreless, giving up just one hit in what ended up a 5-0 win over the Washington Nationals in the nation’s capital.
Max Scherzer gave up two hits and one run in six innings in the Braves’ home when the two starters went head-to-head in the finale in Atlanta, but surrendered three runs on seven hits in five innings tonight in D.
