The Atlanta Braves evened the series on Tuesday night after a 7-2 win<\/a> over the Los Angeles Angels. Reynaldo L\u00f3pez got the start. He allowed two runs, walked two, and struck out seven. Things were going relatively well, and then it got a bit punchy<\/a> (literally). In the bottom of the fifth, benches cleared after L\u00f3pez threw a high fastball to former Brave Jorge Soler, who quickly charged the mound.<\/p>\n

Though the Atlanta offense tallied 12 hits on the night, Walt Weiss was the real MVP after tackling Soler.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been no word on the status of L\u00f3pez and Soler, but a suspension for both of them seems inevitable.<\/p>\n
