Bravers right-hander Julio Teheran was left with a no-decision in his start against the Padres on Thursday. Teheran pitched seven innings, and allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits, while walking three and striking out seven.
The performance lowered Teheran's ERA to 4.78, but it's the third time in his last four starts that he's given up at least four runs. Teheran got into an early hole when he gave up an RBI single in the top of the first.
Then, after the Braves took a 4-1 lead, Teheran gave up three runs in the eighth to tie the game. He took the no-decision as the Padres got the win in extra innings.
"I don't think he ran out of gas; he just got himself in some trouble," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said, per MLB.com. "I think that's the third start in a row, going back to San Francisco, that we can't get him through an inning there late in the game when we needed to."
Teheran will try for better results his next time out, scheduled for Tuesday against the Red Sox in Boston.
