As expected, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez announced that pitcher Julio Teheran will be Atlanta's Opening Day starter on April 6 at Marlins Park, per the team's official website.
The announcement came shortly after Teheran's spring outing against the Red Sox. The right-hander yielded two runs on five hits and four walks while striking out three over 5 2/3 innings of work. He has allowed nine earned runs in 14 innings of work.
Teheran is coming off a season in which he posted a 2.89 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP over 221 innings last year. He struck out 186 and walked 51 over that span in 2014. It will be his second-career Opening Day start.
