Soto picked up the save in Friday's 5-4 win over the Orioles, allowing one run on one hit with three strikeouts in one inning.
It was Soto's fifth appearance of the young season, but it was the left-hander's first save of 2026 after he pitched clean ninth innings Tuesday and Wednesday against the Reds in 8-3 victories earlier in the week. Soto struck out the side against the Orioles on Friday but did allow a solo home run to Gunnar Henderson with two outs. Soto looks to be manager Don Kelly's preferred closer option. Soto has a sterling 11:2 K:BB across 5.1 innings of work.
