Braves pitcher Julio Teheran earned a win Sunday, giving up just three hits and two walks in six scoreless innings while striking out six in his team's 5-0 shutout of the Reds.
Teheran (3-1) had struggled through three straight subpar outings since winning his first two starts of the season, but he was able to recapture success in a tough matchup against Johnny Cueto Sunday.
"My mindset coming in was to fight and really focus on this game," Teheran said to MLB.com. "I know that's something I didn't have a couple starts ago."
All three of the hits he allowed were singles, and at one point in the fourth and fifth innings he was able to ring up five straight batters on strikeouts.
"This was more of the Julio Teheran that we've seen in the past," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said after watching Teheran scatter three hits and notch six strikeouts.
Teheran owns a 3.82 ERA and 28:14 K:BB ratio in 33 innings. He'll square off with the Nationals on the road Saturday.
