Michael Soroka held Norfolk to one run and four hits in 3 2/3 innings as the Gwinnett Stripers (2-2) beat the host Tides 6-1 Tuesday night in Triple-A baseball.
Soroka threw 61 pitches, 37 of them strikes. He fanned three.
Eli White, who already has three homers, led off the game with a solo home run for Gwinnett. Braden Shewmake and Vaughn Grissom had RBI singles for the Stripers. Grissom, who had two hits, is batting .500 (8-for-16) with five extra-base hits and four RBIs in his first four Triple-A games.
Gwinnett’s Matt Swarmer (1-1) added 1 1/3 hitless innings with two strikeouts, and Allan Winans was dominant the rest of the way with nine strikeouts over four perfect innings. Winans’ save was his first.
