Braves pitcher Julio Teheran continued his impressive spring performance Tuesday by throwing four perfect innings and striking out three in his team's 9-1 win over the Phillies.
With the Braves rotation looking more and more like an infirmary, the team is going to have to rely on Teheran as a rock in the rotation every fifth day. He's playing the part beautifully in the spring, tossing nine scoreless innings over three appearances while striking out eight and walking one. He performed admirably in his first full season in the majors, going 14-8 with a 3.20 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 170:45 K:BB ratio in 185 2/3 innings last year.
