Teheran looked strong in his Opening Day start Monday against Washington, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four. He received no decision in the eventual extra-inning loss.

Despite putting too many runners on, Teheran limited the damage and was in line for the win before Jason Grilli blew the save in the ninth. After a down year in 2015, Teheran is off to a better start in 2016. He next takes the hill against the Cardinals on Saturday.
