Michael Soroka Deals, Jose Fernandez Delivers Perfect Bunt As D-backs Beat Braves

About this episode

The episode discusses Michael Soroka's performance, Jose Fernandez's perfect bunt, the D-backs' offensive struggles, and Ketel Marte's milestone in major league service.

Michael Soroka assembled a second straight solid outing and Jose Fernandez laid down a perfect bunt as the D-backs beat the Atlanta Braves on Saturday by a final score of 2-1. What has worked so well for Soroka in the early going? Will manager Torey Lovullo start playing Fernandez more often? We also discuss the D-backs' recent offense woes. What has gone wrong? And how will the D-backs replace recently injured Jordan Lawlar? Plus, Eduardo Rodriguez was fantastic once again on Friday night. Is the E-Rod from a few years ago back? Finally, we discuss Ketel Marte's reaction to reaching 10 years of major league service. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on another live postgame edition of Snakes Territory.
