Atlanta’s Reynaldo López, LA’s Jorge Soler throw punches
Benches and bullpens clear in fifth inning
The two had played together on the 2024 Braves
Atlanta Braves pitcher Reynaldo López and Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Jorge Soler were ejected after getting into a brawl Tuesday night.
Soler homered off López in the first inning, then was hit by a 96-mph fastball from the right-hander his next time up. In the fifth, Soler charged the mound after López threw a high-and-inside wild pitch that tipped off catcher Jonah Heim’s mitt.
