ANAHEIM, Calif.—Mickey Moniak hit a go-ahead double in the sixth inning, Logan O'Hoppe snapped an 0-for-29 slump with a tying homer in the fourth and the Los Angeles Angels rallied past the Atlanta Braves 3–2 on Friday night to stop their three-game losing streak.

Moniak, who was 1 for 11 on the homestand when he came up to bat, narrowly missed a home run when he drilled Pierce Johnson’s curveball off the right-field wall. That drove in Nolan Schanuel, who drew a walk from Braves starter Spencer Schwellenbach (4–6) leading off the inning.
