Basically, Soria had a shitty month early, dumped the cutter he had picked up over the offseason because it was not effective, and pitched the rest of the season at his career averages.
The cutter experiment failed horrendously, but at least he dumped it early.

Actually if you look at his month by month splits, June and the 5 IP in September were the only months he pitched to his career averages. He racked up some saves in July but still had a 3.86 ERA (after a crap last year his career ERA is only 2.4)
