Reynaldo López, Braves seek to stop surging Angels

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - The Los Angeles Angels defeated the Braves 6-2 Monday night to win their third straight game, and it falls to starting pitcher Reynaldo López to shut the Angels down Tuesday.

Tonight’s game will air on Gray TV stations across the Southeast.

When: 9:38 p.m. EST on Tuesday, April 7 (coverage begins at 9 p.m. EST)

The 32-year-old has a 1.64 ERA across two starts so far in 2026. The only knocks against him were home runs by Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez and Arizona Diamondbacks left fielder Jordan Lawlar.

The Braves’ offense will certainly seek for better results against Angels lefty Yusei Kikuchi. Jose Soriano dominated the Braves Monday night, retiring 19 straight batters.

Kikuchi is 0-1 across two starts in 2026 after getting rocked by the Chicago Cubs on April 1. He gave up six runs in 5.1 innings against Chicago, but settled down in his next start against the Houston Astros.

The Braves’ offensive bright spot Monday was, of course, catcher Drake Baldwin. Baldwin homered off Soriano in the first inning, which would be the team’s only run until a Mauricio Dubón homer in the ninth.
