The Los Angeles Angels capped a three-game set in Atlanta with a 5–1 win on Thursday, pulling back to an even 43-43 and claiming the series over the Braves. Right-hander José Soriano dominated, scattering three hits across seven scoreless innings, striking out seven and walking two on 86 pitches. The outing was his fifth in the past seven starts with one earned run or fewer. Shortstop Zach Neto, hitless since bruising his shoulder last week, ignited the offense with three hits—a single, a double and his 13th home run—plus a stolen base, falling a triple short of the cycle. First baseman Nolan Schanuel added a two-run shot, and Jo Adell collected three singles as eight of nine Angels starters reached base. Atlanta avoided a shutout when Jurickson Profar lined a solo homer in the ninth, his second in as many games since completing an 80-game performance-enhancing drug suspension. The Braves have dropped six of eight and were held without a runner past first base until Profar’s drive, continuing a stretch in which they have been blanked or limited to one run in four of their last seven contests.
