Braves starting pitcher Julio Teheran was four outs away from his first career no-hitter during Wednesday's 5-0 win against the Pirates. Teheran (4-2) had retired the first two batters he faced in the eighth inning before Brandon Inge broke up the no-hitter with a single to left field.
Teheran retired the next batter before turning the game over to David Carpenter in the ninth inning to finish off the Pirates. The right-hander allowed one hit, hit two batters and struck out a career-high 11 in eight scoreless innings. Teheran won for the first time in three starts, but he has allowed one or no earned runs in three of his last four starts.
Teheran is expected to be back on the mound Monday at San Diego. He is 2-1 with a 3.58 ERA in six road starts this season.
