Braves, Angels throw punches as Atlanta wins 7-2
"Earlier in the game, Lopez hit Soler in the hand with a fastball. In the fifth inning, another high fastball sailed over the head of catcher Jonah Heim. Soler took offense to it, and after the two stared each other down, the former World Series hero charged the mound."
"The Angels took an early 2-0 lead on a Soler homer that was aided earlier in the inning on an errant throw from Austin Riley. The Braves would chip away by way of an Eli White RBI double in the second to cut the lead in half."
"In the bottom half of the eighth, Aaron Bummer allowed two runners to reach scoring position with just one out. Weiss aggressively brought Raisel Iglesias in, who promptly struck out back-to-back hitters to escape the jam without a run scoring."
A brawl broke out between Braves pitcher Reynaldo Lopez and Jorge Soler after Lopez hit Soler with a fastball. Soler charged the mound, resulting in punches thrown and both players ejected. The Angels initially led 2-0, but the Braves rallied to take a 4-2 lead with key hits. Ozzie Albies added an insurance run with a homer. Raisel Iglesias escaped a jam in the eighth, and the Braves scored more runs in the ninth. The series concludes with a game on Wednesday afternoon.
