Tuesday night in Atlanta Braves Minor League action belonged to one man – Mike Soroka. The long-injured Braves starter finally returned to the mound for the first time in over two years when he began a rehab assignment with High-A Rome. While any reasonable fan of baseball would have been overjoyed to see a healthy Soroka throwing competitive pitches, “Maple Maddux” blew past those expectations with four dominant innings. More on his debut below.
Outside of Soroka’s debut, Gwinnet and Rome pulled out come-from-behind extra-inning victories, Augusta was blown out and Mississippi was rained out.
(54-58) Gwinnett Braves 4, (58-53) Memphis Redbirds 3 – 11 innings
