Soroka (6-2) allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out eight over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Sunday.
Soroka escaped a Coors Field start without allowing a homer, and the eight strikeouts were his most in any of his last six outings. He's now allowed two runs or less in seven of his nine starts this season, including in each of his last three, though he came up an out short of a quality start. For the season, he has a 3.49 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 55:14 K:BB through 49 innings. Soroka is projected to make his next start at home in a rematch with the Rockies.

It was the first homer of the season for Gurriel, who's had a slow start since being activated off the 60-day injured list in April; however, the bat has showed recent life.

Mitchell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.
Mitchell homered in the fourth inning off Bailey Ober. Across seven games after returning from an illness, Mitchell has gone 6-for-23 (.261) with three extra-base hits, two RBI, one stolen base and a 1:11 BB:K.

Christian Yelich DH | MIL
Brewers' Christian Yelich: Homers in return
Yelich (back) went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.
The injury bug has already had a couple of bites at Yelich this year after a groin strain sent him to the injured list and back soreness cost him four games just after his return. The veteran may need some days off in the near term to avoid aggravating the back, which has been a troublesome area for him in the past. This season, he's batting .283 with a .788 OPS, two homers, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored, three stolen bases, two doubles and a triple over 65 plate appearances, which shows he can still contribute in fantasy if his body cooperates.
