Shohei Ohtani hit his 20th homer of the season and Jared Walsh had three hits, but those were the only highlights in another loss for the Angels.
ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves have sold out the first two games of this weekend’s series against the Angels, likely with many fans eager to get a look at Shohei Ohtani.A night after watching Ohtani pitch six dominant innings before implodingOhtani’s 20th homer of the season was a footnote in the Angels’ 7-2 loss to the Braves, a game that got out of hand early because of a sloppy start from Patrick Sandoval.Nevin was seemingly still upset about a call that didn’t go the Angels way in the fourth.
Sandoval gave up a double to Ronald Acuña Jr. to lead off the game. Acuña smoked a line drive that third baseman Jonathan Villar couldn’t handle, as the ball shot past him into left field. Acuña then scored on a single by Dansby Swanson. After a strikeout and a single, Sandoval appeared to be out of the inning when he got catcher Travis d’Arnaud to hit a routine double play grounder to Villar. His throw to second was wide, though, so second baseman Michael Stefanic had to stretch to make the play, preventing him from getting off the throw to first. That allowed a second run to score.
In the third inning, Sandoval gave up four more singles, accounting for three runs. This time the Angels defense helped him avoid an even bigger inning. Right fielder Dillon Thomas made a diving catch in right for the second out. Left fielder Taylor Ward threw out Orlando Arcia trying to go to third for the final out.Related Articles
