Soroka (8-3) scattered three hits and a walk while striking out five over seven scoreless innings for Double-A Mississippi in Thursday's 4-1 win over Montgomery.
He's still seven weeks shy of his 20th birthday, but Soroka continues to humble hitters a few years his senior in the Southern League. He hasn't been scored upon in any of his last three starts, a streak of 22 consecutive innings, and has posted an 18:1 K:BB over that stretch. The Braves aren't going to rush the right-hander, but his impressive performance in the first half of 2017 may well have him on track to make his big-league debut before he turns 21.
