Julio Teheran had a solid outing Wednesday for the Braves , tying his career-high with 11 strikeouts, but was not able to avoid being saddled with the loss in a 3-1 defeat to the Dodgers.
It's the fourth time in Teheran's career that he has whiffed 11, but over his seven innings of work, he gave up six hits and three runs, all of them in a fifth inning that would prove to be his undoing.
Teheran (6-5) has lowered his ERA in each of his last four starts, and it now stands at 4.49.
