Soroka settled in after a rough beginning, allowing four runs on seven hits with no strikeouts and three walks in five innings.
Shewmake homered on the first pitch he saw in the second - the first hit of his big-league career.
"Those three (runs) in the first were on the board, and in a game where Luis has a day like today, it needs to be a win in my opinion. That's on me. Glad I kept going and gave us five and kept us in there, but I need to find it a little earlier."
He had hoped to carry over his success from the spring, when he earned the No. 2 slot in the rotation after posting a 1.38 ERA in four Cactus League starts.
