Braves pitcher Julio Teheran allowed just one earned run on five hits and one walk in seven innings while striking out eight Monday but didn't factor into the decision in his team's 4-2 win over the Marlins.
Teheran has had a little trouble finding strikeouts in the early-going despite turning in great numbers otherwise, but he ramped up the punchouts Monday while leaving with a lead that was squandered in the ninth inning. He's cruising with a 1.80 ERA and 21:7 K:BB ratio in 35 innings. Teheran will square off with the Reds Sunday.
