The Braves hadn’t seen Ricky Nolasco since 2013, but they picked up right where they left off against the right-hander who has always struggled with Atlanta.
Nolasco got an early trip to the locker room, as a six-run third inning propelled the Braves to a 6-3 win over the Angels on Monday night at Angels Stadium.
Atlanta notched all six of its runs in the game with two outs in the third inning, as Nolasco was unable to escape the frame. After he recorded the first two outs sandwiched around back-to-back singles from Dansby Swanson and Ender Inciarte, Matt Kemp walked to load the bases and set the stage.
