Two pitchers coming in off strong starts in which they did not gain a decision will take the mound Wednesday afternoon when the Los Angeles Angels face the Atlanta Braves in the rubber match of their three-game series in Anaheim, Calif.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles left-hander Reid Detmers (0-0, 2.38 ERA) will start in the series finale after allowing just three singles over 6 2\/3 shutout innings in his team\u2019s 3-1, 10-inning loss to Seattle on Friday.<\/p>\n

Detmers will oppose right-hander Grant Holmes (0-1, 2.45 ERA), who yielded just one hit and struck out four over six shutout innings in a game Atlanta won 2-0 at Arizona on Friday. <\/p>\n

Holmes is 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA in one career start against the Angels, striking out 10 and allowing three hits over six scoreless innings in a 4-0 loss on July 1, 2025.<\/p>\n

Detmers is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA in two career appearances (one start) vs. the Braves. He walked four batters and struck out four against the Mariners on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought he was great,\u201d Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said of Detmers. \u201cUnder control, executed, made pitches. He freaking pitched his butt off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Los Angeles, behind home runs by Zach Neto and Jo Adell and eight dominant innings from Jose Soriano, won the series opener with the Braves 6-2 on Monday. Atlanta bounced back for a 7-2 victory on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Ozzie Albies hit his third homer on Tuesday, but the story of the night was a fifth-inning fight between Braves starter Reynaldo Lopez and Los Angeles designated hitter Jorge Soler.<\/p>\n

Soler hit a two-run shot in the first inning, his fifth home run in 23 career at-bats against Lopez. Soler was hit on his wrist in his next at-bat in the third and then saw a head-high fastball sail to the backstop in the fifth.<\/p>\n

It was after that pitch that Soler decided to confront Lopez, his teammate with the Braves in 2024. The two squared up and began swinging wildly, with neither landing a solid blow as the dugouts emptied. Soler eventually was tackled to the ground by Atlanta manager Walt Weiss, who was a bench coach with the Braves when Soler garnered World Series MVP honors in 2021. Meanwhile, Mike Trout grabbed a hold of Lopez.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t over his head, but it was head-high coming in,\u201d Suzuki said. \u201cI don\u2019t blame Jorge one bit. Words were exchanged and Jorge came out. Any time you get thrown at your head \u2026 you have a family, your career, it\u2019s dangerous. I know it\u2019s part of the game, it happens, but ask any hitter, ball gets thrown near their head, especially after hitting a homer, it\u2019s not good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe didn\u2019t miss with the other hitters like that, like he missed to me,\u201d Soler said through an interpreter. \u201cSo I think it was intentional.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lopez, also via an interpreter, called the incident \u201ca misunderstanding.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe spend time together as teammates, and so I just think it was a misunderstanding because I would never do anything,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cI wasn\u2019t trying to hit him, and there was never any intent on my part to hit him at all at any point.\u201d<\/p>\n
