WATCH: Orlando Arcia goes 360 degrees to snuff out a Guardians rally

Michael Soroka has walked a tightrope through two innings, but his shortstop had his back in the bottom of the second.

After falling into a 4-0 hole in the first inning, Cleveland has threatened in each of their first two turns at bat tonight. With runners at second and third and one out in the first, Braves righty Michael Soroka used a strikeout and a groundout to keep the home team off the board.

Soroka got himself into a similar pickle in the second, as two singles and a wild pitch put runners at second and third with nobody out. The big Canadian locked in from there and struck out the next two hitters, giving him a good shot at wriggling off the hook again. Steven Kwan tried to find a hole with a grounder up the middle, but newly-minted All-Star starter Orlando Arcia was there to help out his pitcher.

This play kept the Guardians off the board yet again, and Atlanta's offense could get back to work in the third with a four-run lead.

The game broadcast, with Voice of the Braves Brandon Gaudin, is available inside Braves Country on Bally Sports South and is available on MLB.TV outside of the broadcast area. The radio call, with Ben Ingram, is available locally on 680 AM/93.7 FM The Fan or outside the Atlanta market on the Atlanta Braves Radio Network or on  MLB.com.
