It was a great night for the Angels youth movement. Zach Neto had a single, double, home run, and stolen base by the 4th inning and Jose Soriano was cruising through the Braves lineup. The early good start was enough for the Angels to walk away with a win and a .500 record.
Jo Adell extended his hitting streak to 14 games and plated Neto in the top of the first inning.
Nolan Schanuel pushed the lead to 3-0 with his 8th home run of the year.
Then Zach Neto went yard.
Neto needed a triple for the cycle but it was Taylor Ward hitting a triple in the top of the 6th that pushed the Angels lead to 5-0. Mike Trout scored from first on the play, the second time we’ve seem him hustle hard on the base paths this week. Hopefully that is a good sign.
A youth driven win and a .500 record as we head to the 4th of July. Up next, three games in Toronto.
