Ozzie Albies<\/a> hit his third home run of the season, starter Reynaldo L\u00f3pez<\/a> struck out seven in 4\u2154 innings before being ejected after a bench-clearing brawl, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Angels 7-2<\/a> on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Angels designated hitter Jorge Soler<\/a> went after L\u00f3pez following a high-and-tight wild pitch in the fifth. There was a lengthy staredown before Soler took steps toward the mound and L\u00f3pez held out his arms before the two exchanged punches. L\u00f3pez was holding the baseball when he landed a punch on Soler\u2019s batting helmet.<\/p>\n
