Los Angeles Angels vs Atlanta Braves Box Score on Jul 31, 2023

Luis Rengifo, Randal Grichuk and Chad Wallach each hit solo homers to help the Los Angeles Angels post a 4-1 victory over the host Atlanta Braves on Monday night.

Shohei Ohtani reached base four times on two singles, an intentional walk and a hit by pitch as the Angels won for the 10th time in the past 13 games. Wallach had three hits and Rengifo added two for Los Angeles.

Matt Olson bashed his National League-leading 36th homer for the Braves, who had won six of their previous nine games. Olson reached base four times on two hits and two walks.

Chase Silseth (3-1) of the Angels gave up one run and three hits in five innings as the fill-in starter for Griffin Canning, who was scratched Monday due to general soreness. Silseth struck out four and walked none in his third start of the season.

Three relievers combined to blank Atlanta on one hit. Reynaldo Lopez went 1 2/3 innings for his fifth save and first with the Angels since being acquired from the Chicago White Sox last week.

Ohtani's bid for his 40th homer was thwarted by Michael Harris II of the Braves with two on and none out in the ninth. Harris leaped at the center field wall with his glove rising above the fence and made the catch.

Charlie Morton (10-9) gave up three runs and six hits over six innings for the Braves. He struck out eight and walked three.

Rengifo hit Morton's third pitch of the game into the seats in right field. It was his 10th homer of the season.

Grichuk came through in his second at-bat since being acquired from the Colorado Rockies on Sunday when he homered to right in the fourth inning. It was his ninth blast of the season.

Olson cut Atlanta's deficit in half with a blast to right in the fifth, the team's 200th home run of the season. Olson has three homers in two days and four in the past four.

In the sixth, Wallach launched a 441-foot rocket into the seats in left center to give the Angels a 3-1 edge. It was his seventh homer of the campaign.

C.J. Cron, also acquired from the Rockies, had a run-scoring single in the ninth.
