ATLANTA — It took the Angels eight innings to come up with a clutch hit, and then they got four of them.

Mike Trout, Jo Adell and Jorge Soler each had doubles, and then Luis Rengifo followed with an RBI single, leading to a four-run eighth inning in the Angels’ 4-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night.

The rally came an inning too late for Tyler Anderson to get credit for a victory on a night when he pitched six scoreless innings.

The Angels provided no support for Anderson because they’d spent their night struggling against Braves right-hander Grant Holmes, to the tune of 10 strikeouts in six innings.

The bats woke up with one out in the eighth.

Trout yanked a ball down the left-field line and he sprinted into second base with his first double since May 31. In an effort to save the pounding on his sore left knee, he’s been stopping at first every time he got a hit that didn’t go over the fence.

Taylor Ward then drew a walk, his third time reaching safely in the game.

Adell followed by doubling down the left-field line, running his hitting streak to 12 and knocking in Trout with the first run of the game.

Soler, who was playing his first game after two weeks on the injured list, punched a double into right-center to drive in two more. Soler also was on base three times.

An out later, Rengifo singled to drive in the fourth run of the inning.

Left-hander Reid Detmers and closer Kenley Jansen then worked the final two innings of the shutout, helping the Angels (42-42) get back to .500 for the third time in the last week. They haven’t been able to get over .500 since April.

The pitching was the story until the late rally, thanks to Anderson’s best game in two months.

Anderson struck out seven, equaling his season high. Three of those strikeouts were against Braves superstar Ronald Acuña Jr.

In the fifth inning, Michael Harris II led off with a triple just past the glove of right fielder Jorge Soler. Anderson got out of that jam with a popup, a strikeout and a flyout. The strikeout was Acuña.

Anderson struck out Drake Baldwin in the first, stranding runners at second and third.

Even though Anderson was only at 87 pitches, interim manager Ray Montgomery still pulled him after six innings.
