Teheran (11-11) tossed seven scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Nationals, allowing seven hits and two walks with five strikeouts.
Teheran scattered baserunners throughout the evening, but he induced nine groundball outs to help avoid serious damage. He threw 65 percent of his pitches for strikes while delivering his fourth quality start in the last six tries. Teheran's recent success has lowered his ERA to 4.57 -- his lowest mark in roughly four months. He will look to keep it going in a favorable matchup Sunday against the Mets.
