José Soriano Dominates with Three Straight Strong Starts, Becomes First Angelinos Pitcher to Secure Three Wins This Season José Soriano delivered his third consecutive dominant performance on Monday, leading the Los Angeles Angels to a 6-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves in the opening game of a three-game series at Angel Stadium. The right-handed pitcher pitched eight innings, striking out 10 batters while walking none, allowing just one run. His efforts secured his third win of the season, making him the first pitcher in Major League Baseball to achieve this milestone this year. Soriano’s 0.45 ERA in 20 innings pitched this season is complemented by 21 strikeouts and six walks, showcasing his precision and dominance. Soriano’s dominance began with his first two starts of the season, where he became the second pitcher in Angels history to throw at least six innings without allowing a run while striking out at least four batters in each game. Joining Nolan Ryan, who accomplished this feat in 1978, Soriano now holds a unique place in franchise history. He is the fourth Angels pitcher to achieve this milestone in three consecutive starts, joining Chuck Finley (1998), Jered Weaver (2011), and Shohei Ohtani (2023). His performance in the first two games set the stage for his breakout game against the Braves. The game against the Braves, however, was not without its challenges. Soriano allowed a solo home run to Drake Baldwin in the top of the fifth inning, a 98.3 mph four-seam fastball thrown on a 1-2 count in the strike zone. Despite this, Soriano quickly regained control, retiring 19 consecutive batters after the home run. The streak was broken when Mike Yastrzemski singled to start the eighth inning, but Soriano’s ability to limit damage continued. His dominance extended to the strike zone, with 71.#atlanta_braves #jose_soriano #los_angeles_angers #angel_stadium #drake_baldwin
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
