Adell's double in 8th drives in the game's first run as Angels beat Braves 4-0 and return to .500
ATLANTA — Jo Adell's run-scoring double in the eighth inning ended a scoreless tie and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Atlanta Braves 4-0 on Tuesday night. Adell's double in 8th drives in the game's first run as Angels beat Braves 4-0 and return to .500
The Angels reached .500 for the ninth time this season, while the Braves have lost five of six.
Adell's double down the left-field line off Dylan Lee drove in Mike Trout, who doubled. Jorge Soler, who came off the injured list after missing 11 games with lower back inflammation, added a two-run double off Enyel De Los Santos in the four-run inning.
Angels shortstop Zach Neto returned as the leadoff hitter after missing four starts with a jammed right shoulder.
'Having the two guys back makes a huge difference,' interim manager Ray Montgomery said before the game.
The refurbished lineup struggled against Atlanta right-hander Grant Holmes, who allowed only three hits and recorded 10 strikeouts in six innings. Angels left-hander Tyler Anderson also threw six scoreless innings with seven strikeouts.
Rookie right-hander José Fermin earned his first win with a scoreless seventh.
Michael Harris II ended an 0-for-22 drought with a triple to open the fifth. The Braves couldn't drive in Harris thanks in part to Ronald Acuña Jr.'s third of four strikeouts in the game.
A first-inning single extended Matt Olson's career-best, on-base streak to 31 games. The longest active streak in the majors of games safely reaching base began May 29.
Braves rookie right-hander Didier Fuentes, 0-2 with a 10.80 ERA after two starts, was moved back one day to start on Wednesday. Outfielder Jurickson Profar is expected to make his return from an 80-game suspension for performance-enhancing drug use. Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi is listed as the Angels' starter.

'That's Madness': Dale Steyn Trolls India Over Benching Bumrah With Ronaldo Reference
Last Updated: Dale Steyn has criticised India's decision to rest Jasprit Bumrah in the second Test against England despite his stellar performance in the first. Former South Africa pacer Dale Steyn on Wednesday took a massive dig at the Indian team management, indicating that it was sheer madness on their part not to play ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah in the second Test against England at Edgbaston, despite him being their best bowler. India, enduring a rough patch in Tests since October 2024, have managed just one victory in their last nine games, marking their worst run in over a decade. India Test skipper Shubman Gill and his men lost the opening Test against England by five wickets in Leeds and with an eight-day gap to the Edgbaston Test, many expected that Bumrah might play the second and give the third Test a miss. 'So Portugal have the best striker in the world in Ronaldo, and they chose not to play him. That's madness. That's like India having Bumrah and choosing not to play, umm, him… wait, oh, no, what! shit I'm confused 😵💫," Steyn tweeted on Wednesday night. Bumrah had claimed his 14th five-wicket haul in the first innings at Leeds and everyone expected that he would play at Edgbaston and give India a much-needed bowling firepower. After the toss on Wednesday, Gill told former England cricketer Michael Atherton that Bumrah was rested to manage his workload. The Indian team management had made it clear before the series that the ace pacer would feature in a maximum of three Tests, due to workload considerations. Bumrah, who missed three months of action earlier this year because of a back spasm suffered during the Sydney Test against Australia, became the first Asian pacer to bag 150 wickets in SENA nations during the first Test.

IND vs ENG: Vaibhav Suryavanshi hits second-fastest fifty by an Indian in U19 ODIs
Vaibhav Suryavanshi made headlines on Wednesday by smashing the second-fastest half-century by an Indian in Under-19 ODIs, during the third Youth ODI against England in Northampton. The 14-year-old reached his fifty in just 20 balls, bringing it up with a towering six off James Minto, and went on to hammer 86 off only 31 Rishabh Pant has scored a quicker half-century for India in this format - an 18-ball blitz against Nepal during the 2016 Under-19 World a challenging target of 269 in a rain-curtailed 40-over contest, Suryavanshi provided India with the ideal platform. Despite the early dismissal of stand-in captain Abhigyan Kundu, the left-hander signalled his intent by cracking two boundaries within his first 13 balls. What followed was an exhibition of clean, fearless hitting - nine sixes and six fours flowed from his bat as he dismantled the English bowling attack. His explosive innings eventually ended when he was caught in the deep, but not before tilting the momentum decisively in India's favour. His dismissal was quickly followed by that of Chavda, leaving India three down but still well ahead of the asking England had posted 268 for 6 after being asked to bat first. Captain Thomas Rew led the charge with an unbeaten 76 off just 44 balls, peppered with nine fours and three sixes. Opener BJ Dawkins provided a solid foundation with a fluent 62, while Isaac Mohammed chipped in with bowlers did well to rein in the scoring after a brisk start. Kanishk Chauhan was the pick of the attack, claiming 3 for 38 and sparking a middle-order wobble. He clean bowled Ben Mayes, removed Rocky Flintoff in his next over, and later dismissed Joseph Moores for a duck. Naman Pushpak and Deepesh Devendran also chipped in with a wicket each, while Vivaan Malhotra trapped Mohammed LBW to break a dangerous the five-match series tied 1-1 going into this encounter, Suryavanshi's record-setting knock could well prove to be the turning point. His fearless batting at the top has already emerged as a standout feature of the series - and at just 14, he's giving Indian cricket fans plenty to be excited about.- EndsYou May Also Like

‘Purest of batters, purest of bowlers': Amanjot shines in 2nd T20I win
Chandigarh: Ahead of the England tour, the Indian women's team had primarily looked at Amanjot Kaur in a bowling role in white-ball cricket. But on Tuesday night, in the second T20I against England at Bristol, she proved her coach Nagesh Gupta's assessment of her as a two-dimensional cricketer. India's Amanjot Kaur in action. (Reuters) The 24-year-old hit an impressive unbeaten 40-ball 63 batting at No.5, the joint top score. And coming on to bowl, Amanjot first grabbed the all-important wicket of the in-form England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt. However, it was with the bat that she truly instilled a level of confidence that was long missing in the Indian team. A seam-bowling all-rounder is a luxury for any team and with India preparing for the upcoming Women's ODI World Cup and the T20 World Cup next year, India would love to add that kind of luxury to the talent they can call upon. Amanjot made sure that she stuck to her job and partnered with joint top-scorer Jemimah Rodrigues, raising 93 runs for the fourth wicket. She then stitched together an unbeaten 57 with Richa Ghosh (32*) as India recorded 181/4 – the second-highest women's T20I total at Bristol. She completed her maiden T20I half-century off 35 balls. During the rebuilding job, Amanjot also showed that she can accelerate the innings with clean stroke play in the death overs as well. India scored 117 runs in the last 10 overs after the early jolts when they lost Shafali Verma (3), Smriti Mandhana (13) and Harmanpreet Kaur (1), reducing India to 31/3 within the Powerplay phase. Jemimah underlined her experience, smashing a 41-ball 63 to revive the Indian innings. She went after Linsey Smith (0/37) and Em Arlott (1/43) to inflict further damage. 'Credit goes to Jemi for pacing her innings so well. She told me to stay at the wicket for a longer time and then we wanted to take it deep. Afterwards, Richa finished the innings well,' Amanjot said after the game. India beat England by 24 runs to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match T20I series. Harleen Deol, who scored 43 off 23 balls in the first match, was left out with skipper Harmanpreet Kaur returning after sitting out the Trent Bridge game. Amanjot is enjoying her comeback into the Indian team. She had suffered a hand and back injury in 2024, forcing her to miss the T20 World Cup as well as the domestic season. But she made use of the Women's Premier League stint with Mumbai Indians to earn her India call-up. Speaking on her maiden T20 half-century and the all-rounder tag, Amanjot said, 'It is the first of many. I am now being called an all-rounder, but I would like to believe that I am the purest of the bowlers and the purest of the batters. I want to do it more for India.' Her innings included nine fours, the same number hit by Jemimah. Richa Ghosh remained unbeaten on 32. England once again failed to mount a serious chase as they were restricted to 157/7. Tammy Beaumont top-scored with 54 and Amy Jones (32) Sophie Ecclestone (35) contributing, but it could not prevent a 24-run defeat.
