Braves starter Julio Teheran (10-8) surrendered six hits, two earned runs and four walks in six innings in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Marlins.
Teheran was blown up in an Aug. 30 start against the Yankees, giving up eight earned runs over 4 1/3 innings. Since then, the young right-hander has posted five consecutive quality starts, although he only has a 1-1 record over that span to show for it. Teheran's control continues to plague him-- Saturday's start was the third one in September in which he has surrendered four walks--but he has posted a sparkling 1.91 ERA over his five appearances this month. The 24-year-old will look to close the season on a positive note in his final trip to the mound later in the coming week.
