Braves starting pitcher Julio Teheran couldn't go five innings during a 6-3 loss to the Mets on Thursday. The right-hander allowed four runs on three hits and five walks, while striking out five in 4 1/3 innings.
Teheran (2-1) ran into early trouble Thursday. He walked the bases loaded with one out in the bottom of the first inning before Daniel Murphy cleared the bases with a double.
The Braves rallied to tie the game at three before New York took the lead for good in the fifth inning. Teheran allowed a leadoff single to Curtis Granderson in the fifth and was removed after striking out Juan Lagares. Reliever Ian Thomas then loaded the bases with two walks before Sugar Ray Marimon walked home the go-ahead run, which was credited to Teheran.
Teheran has allowed nine earned runs in his last two starts (0-1) after allowing two earned runs in his first two starts (2-0). He will be back on the mound Tuesday against the Nationals.
