The Atlanta Braves were looking to fend off both the Phillies and the Yankees in simultaneous split-squad games on Friday afternoon. The short version? Both games were lost, though both also showed bright spots.
Let’s start at North Port where the Yankees came into town. This game featured Mike Soroka on the bump.
Soroka gave up no runs in two innings, though did see three singles against him. One of these was erased via a double play; the others were made inconsequential thanks to a strikeout and ground out.
