JOAKIM SORIA NEWS

Tagged with loss Monday Soria (2-1) was tagged with the loss Monday against Arizona. He allowed one run on one hit, although he didn't walk or strikeout anyone.

Impact Soria entered the game in the bottom of the ninth with a 3-3 tie and a runner on second base, but he loaded the bases soon after striking out Kole Calhoun only to see David Peralta hit the game-winning single. This was the first time Soria allowed an earned run in the current season, however, so he should remain a trusted guy in high-leverage situations moving forward.

Earns win in relief Soria (2-0) earned the win in relief Friday against the Giants after pitching a scoreless inning, allowing one hit and one walk.

Impact Soria pitched the bottom of the ninth after Oakland rallied from a five-run deficit, and he got the job done despite allowing two baserunners -- he needed 21 pitches to complete the inning, although 13 of those were strikes so he didn't have problems to locate the zone. Soria is yet to allow an earned run this season and is riding a streak of eight scoreless appearances, a span in which he has two wins, two holds, a 1.15 WHIP and an impressive 14.5 K/9.

Records five-out save Soria was perfect over 1.2 innings, striking out three batters and earning the save in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Rangers.

Impact Closer Liam Hendriks had pitched in three of the last four games, so Soria was called on for the save chance. The 36-year-old righty performed admirably, shutting down the Rangers to convert his second save of the year. Soria has yet to allow an earned run in 6.2 innings this season. He's struck out 11 batters and allowed just four hits and two walks in six appearances.

First hold in the books Soria was credited with his first hold in Sunday's win over the Angels, allowing a hit and recording a strikeout in a scoreless seventh inning.

Impact The long-tenured reliever was particularly sharp, firing 13 of his 16 pitches for strikes. Soria has been busy early this season after logging a career-high 71 appearances in 2019, as he also managed a scoreless frame in Friday's season opener. Soria tied a career high with 21 holds last season, and given his experience in a variety of bullpen roles, he shapes up for another solid workload in the abbreviated 2020 campaign.
