Julio Teheran appeared to be on his way to a strong outing, but difficulties in the fifth and sixth innings led to a loss for the righty and the Braves versus the Marlins on Sunday.
Teheran was on the wrong side of the 4-0 final score, even though he held the Marlins to one single through 4 2/3 innings. Then he allowed three straight hits -- and the Marlins' first run -- in the fifth inning and was forced to exit the game after allowing four more hits and two more runs in the sixth inning. Jarrod Saltalamacchia's sacrifice fly off Luis Avilan accounted for the Marlins' fourth run off Teheran.
The 23-year-old finshed having allowed four runs on eight hits over 5 1/3 innings, though he struck out five batters and walked none. Teheran is now 13-11 with a 3.00 ERA.
