Soto allowed three runs on four hits with a walk and strikeout across 3.2 innings in a no-decision against the Nationals on Saturday.
Both starters in this one made it through the first three frames unscathed, but Soto couldn't finish the fourth. Three Nationals reached base in that frame and knocked Soto out of the game. Detroit came back to tie, though, so Soto avoided a loss. Still, this performance erases all the good feelings he gave the organization after he threw four scoreless innings in his last outing two weeks ago. He is 0-2 with a 8.83 ERA, 1.96 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 17.1 MLB innings this season. If Soto sticks around the big club for one more start before the All-Star break, his turn in the rotation will come up again Thursday on the road against the White Sox.
