Zach Neto went yard for the 13th time on the season, a fourth inning solo-shot and also scored three times to pace the Angels in their 5-1 win over the Braves. The Cuban-American slugger is now hitting a solid .270 on the campaign.
Foe the losing squad from Atlanta Raisel Iglesias tossed a scoreless inning in which he fanned three of the four batters he faced. The right-hander from the Isle of Youth has not allowed a run in his last seven outings and saw his ERA descend to 5.12 on the season.
Iglesias has been lights after losing his closer role after a terrible start to the season with the Braves. Over his career the righty has saved 233 games during his time on the grand stage, the hurler places second amongst Cuban in MLB history in that statistical category.
