Jorge Soler grand slam puts bow on Angels win over Reds
Apr 10, 2026; Cincinnati, Ohio, USA; Cincinnati Reds center fielder TJ Friedl (29) crashes into the wall as he attempts to catch a two-run home run hit by Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (9) in the fourth inning at Great American Ball Park. Mandatory Credit: Aaron Doster-Imagn Images Jorge Soler belted a grand slam and Jack Kochanowicz allowed one run over seven innings, fueling the visiting Los Angeles Angels to a 10-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday.
Zach Neto launched a two-run homer, Josh Lowe also went deep and Yoan Moncada had an RBI single while reaching base four times on Friday. Lowe and Moncada joined Soler and Neto with two hits after entering the game mired in 1-for-25 and 0-for-15 ruts, respectively.
Adam Frazier reached base four times and joined Mike Trout in working a bases-loaded walk to help the Angels snap a two-game losing streak.
With the bases loaded in the eighth inning, Soler sent a 3-1 fastball from Kyle Nicolas over the wall in left-center field.
Kochanowicz (2-0) surrendered a single to Eugenio Suarez to lead off the second inning and overcame four walks, including three free passes in the fifth inning. Will Benson scored on TJ Friedl’s groundout to trim Los Angeles’ lead to 4-1 before Kochanowicz induced Matt McLain to ground out to end the inning.
Kochanowicz allowed another single to Suarez in the sixth inning for his only other hit before departing after seven innings.
Elly De La Cruz belted a solo homer in the eighth inning for the Reds, who mustered little else en route to losing their third straight game.
Frazier worked a five-pitch walk against Chase Burns (1-1) with the bases loaded to open the scoring in the second inning.
Los Angeles extended its lead to 2-0 in the third inning after Soler ripped a two-out double and scored on Moncada’s single to shallow left field.
The Angels doubled that advantage with two outs in the fourth inning.
Frazier worked another five-pitch walk to extend the inning, and Neto made Burns pay for that by depositing a 2-2 fastball over the wall in center field. Neto’s homer was his team-leading fifth of the season and third in his last six games.
Cincinnati scratched for a run in the top of the fifth inning before Lowe turned on a 0-1 fastball from Burns, lining the ball over the wall in right field to lead off the sixth.
Burns permitted five runs on seven hits with four walks in 5 1/3 innings.

Reports: Myles Garrett's revised deal includes $37M guaranteed in '26
Jun 6, 2026; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Rams defensive end Myles Garrett looks on prior to throwing out the honorary first pitch before a game between the Los Angeles Angels and Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. Mandatory Credit: William Liang-Imagn Images Defensive end Myles Garrett’s revised deal with the Los Angeles Rams includes a $5.5 million raise for this season, according to numbers reported by multiple outlets Wednesday.
The two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year was acquired by the Rams in a June 1 trade that sent Pro Bowl pass rusher Jared Verse and three draft picks, including a first-round selection in 2027, to the Cleveland Browns.
Garrett’s restructured five-year, $208.2 million deal includes $37 million fully guaranteed in 2026 and $99 million guaranteed through the 2028 season along with a signing bonus and multiple option bonuses, according to Spotrac.
Garrett’s revised cap numbers include $8.8 million in 2026, $15.0 million in 2027, $27.6 million in 2028, $39.9 million in 2029 and $48.2 million in 2030, with another $39.9 million not scheduled to count against the cap until after the contract voids in February 2031, according to NFL Network.
His salary for the upcoming season climbs from $31.5 million to $37 million, per the reports.
The Rams have become a heavy favorite to win Super Bowl LXI, which will be played in their own stadium in February 2027. The last time the Rams won a Super Bowl after the 2021 season, it was also in their stadium in Inglewood, Calif.
Garrett, 30, had an NFL-record 23 sacks for the Browns last season. His 125.5 career sacks equate to an average of 15.9 per season. He also led the league with 33 tackles for loss last season.
The five-time All-Pro selection was the first overall draft pick of the Browns in 2017 and had 412 tackles, 149 tackles for loss and 239 quarterback hits in 134 games (131 starts) with Cleveland.
