Soto (4-1) allowed three runs on three hits and a walk while failing to retire a batter, taking the loss and a blown save versus the Astros on Wednesday.
He was brought in with two outings in the eighth inning and couldn't clean up the mess Mason Montgomery left him. This poor outing brought Soto's six-inning scoreless streak to a crashing halt. The left-hander is 8-for-11 in save chances this season while adding six holds, and he's pitched to a 2.86 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 34:12 K:BB through 28.1 innings. He's still the favorite for saves in the Pittsburgh bullpen, especially given the recent struggles of Dennis Santana.
