Soto Shines, Shuts Out Birmingham, 6-0
Today was Esteban Soto's turn in the rotation for the Mississippi Firebirds and he made the most of it, shutting out the Birmingham Barons on 4 hits.

The 23-year-old right-hander led the Firebirds to an easy 6-0 victory, allowing no walks and tallying 5 strikeouts.

"I hope we miss him next time," Birmingham manager Casey Kopitzke said. "Soto certainly pitched a strong game against us today. He was in a groove, throwing everything for strikes. Throwing hard. Changing speeds."

In 12 starts this season Soto has fashioned a 3-1 record and a 2.06 ERA.
