Credited with seventh win
Soriano (7-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing five runs (four earned) on eight hits and two walks over six innings against the Dodgers. He struck out two.
Analysis
Soriano held the Dodgers offense to just one run through the first five innings, though things began to spiral in the sixth frame when he allowed a pair of homers to Dalton Rushing and Ryan Ward. Despite his late struggles, a strong offensive showing from the Angels propelled Soriano to his seventh win. After a dominant start to the season, the right-hander has struggled to maintain that form, posting a 5.26 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 39.1 innings over his past seven starts. The 27-year-old will carry a 2.96 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 87:40 K:BB across 82 innings (14 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Rays.

Struggles mightily with control
Soriano did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and seven walks over 4.2 innings against the Rockies. He struck out seven.
Analysis
Soriano generated a huge number of whiffs (22) but struggled mightily with his control, surrendering a staggering nine free passes between walks and hit batsmen. The right-hander was elite through his first seven starts, posting a 0.24 ERA and 0.82 WHIP across 37.2 innings, but has since regressed to the tune of a 5.17 ERA and 1.59 WHIP over 38.1 innings across his past seven outings. Soriano is now 6-4 with a 2.72 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 85:38 K:BB across 76 innings. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Dodgers.
