Angels 6-2 Braves (Apr 6, 2026) Game Recap The Los Angeles Angels secured a 6-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Monday night, extending their winning streak to three games. José Soriano delivered eight dominant innings, striking out 10 batters while allowing just one run and three hits. The right-hander’s performance was critical in securing the win, as he threw 69 of his 96 pitches for strikes and did not issue a walk. Zach Neto and Jo Adell each contributed home runs, helping the Angels build a comfortable lead. Neto launched a leadoff home run on the first pitch thrown by Atlanta starter Chris Sale, a 95 mph fastball. Sale, who entered the game with an impressive 1.24 ERA in 11 career games against the Angels, struggled to contain the Angels’ offense. After Neto’s early blast, Sale retired his next nine batters but faltered in the fourth inning. The Angels drew two walks, were hit by two pitches, and had two runners forced out at the plate, leading to a three-run rally. Logan O’Hoppe walked with the bases loaded, and Yoán Moncada was hit by a pitch, both with the bases loaded, to account for two runs. Bryce Teodosio added a run with an infield single, giving the Angels a 4-1 lead. Jorge Soler opened the fifth inning with a single, and Adell followed with a towering home run off Sale’s first pitch. The 411-foot shot to left field extended the Angels’ lead to 6-1, marking Adell’s first home run of the season. Sale, despite the early struggles, managed to retire the next three batters before the Angels’ offense continued to pressure him. The Braves’ offense showed some life in the first inning, as Drake Baldwin hit a solo home run and Matt Olson singled. However, Soriano quickly settled in, retiring 19 straight batters before Mike Yastrzemski led off the eighth with a single.#atlanta_braves #zach_netto #jo_adell #los_angeles_angers #jos_soriano
