It's been a bit of a rough season for former Atlanta Braves All-Star starter Michael Soroka. But the right-hander had a bright moment Sunday.
Pitching for the Washington Nationals, Soroka struck out 10 batters in the first five innings of his start Sunday. The 10 strikeouts set a new career high.
The right-hander accomplished the feat against the vaunted Los Angeles Dodgers lineup.
