Michael Soroka throws immaculate 5th inning in Arizona Diamondbacks debut

  • Michael Soroka threw an immaculate inning in the fifth inning of his Arizona Diamondbacks debut, striking out all three batters on nine consecutive strikes, marking only the fourth such inning in Diamondbacks history.
  • Soroka finished the game with 10 strikeouts, surpassing Randy Johnson's debut record of nine strikeouts for the Diamondbacks in 1999.
  • Soroka prefers pitching as a starter rather than as a reliever and is making a strong case to remain in Arizona's rotation amid returning players.
  • Manager Torey Lovullo noted it was the first immaculate inning he had seen up close and said Soroka improved as the game progressed.
