ATLANTA — Pulling Mike Soroka after six strong innings was a challenging call for Braves manager Brian Snitker. Soroka threw only 81 pitches before he was lifted for pinch-hitter Charlie Culberson with the bases loaded in the sixth. Soroka threw 109 pitches in his last start, a 3-1 win at Cincinnati. But after shoulder problems shortened his 2018 season, Snitker is watching him closely this year. Braves: RHP Julio Teheran (2-3, 5.40 ERA) is 5-3 with a 3.73 ERA in 10 career starts against the Padres.
