Soto made his first career Major League start on May 11th in a loss to the Minnesota Twins. During that game, he lasted just four innings, giving up seven earned runs on nine hits while striking out just one.
Let’s hope start No. 2 goes a little better. That being said, he is pitching against a red-hot Astros lineup, so it could get ugly!
