Braves starting pitcher Julio Teheran didn't get much help from the defense in his start Friday against the Nationals, though the team went on to win 7-6 in extra innings.
Teheran was tagged for five runs in six innings of work, but only two of them were earned. The three unearned runs came on a Ryan Zimmerman home run in the fifth inning, after the frame was extended by a two-out error by Dan Uggla.
Teheran wasn't at the top of his game even without the defense's issues, as he allowed two earned runs while giving up 10 hits and a walk in six innings. He struck out just one batter, while throwing 53 of 84 pitches for strikes.
Teheran is off to another solid start with a 2.84 ERA through his first three outings, however he does have just nine strikeouts to six walks in 19 innings of work. His next start is set for Wednesday against the Phillies.
