Braves pitcher Julio Teheran was outdueled on Opening Day Monday, giving up two earned runs on seven hits and one walk in six innings while striking out two in his team's 2-0 loss to the Brewers.
Teheran worked in and out of trouble all day but couldn't escape the fourth inning scoreless, as the Brewers received a double from Aramis Ramirez with two men in scoring position and no outs. He did stop the potential big inning with three straight outs after the double, but it would be all the scoring on the day for either side.
Teheran may have partly won the Opening Day nod by attrition after the team struggled with rotation injuries this spring, but he certainly has the talent of an ace. He'll pitch again Saturday against the Nationals.
