Soria split duties in the circle with Evangelista and hit from the designated player position in the lineup. She started 14 games and went 10-4 with 4 saves. She totaled 70 strikes outs and finished with a 3.34 ERA.

With the bat, Soria hit .330 on the season with 6 doubles, a pair of home runs, and 18 RBI.
