Braves starting pitcher Julio Teheran was nearly unhittable Saturday, though he had to settle for the no-decision in a 2-0 win over the Cardinals.
Teheran limited the Cardinals to just two hits and faced just three batters over the minimum over seven innings of work. He allowed one hit and a walk in the first inning, but was able to work out of that jam, allowing just one more hit over the remainder of his outing.
Teheran needed just 88 pitches to finish his seven innings, throwing 53 of those pitches for strikes. He struck out six and walked just one, while lowering his ERA to 3.07. Teheran is now 7-5 in 20 starts this season.
Teheran finished the month of July with a 1-1 record and 2.93 ERA in five starts. His next start is scheduled for Thursday against the Rockies.
