Braves pitcher Julio Teheran was able to limit most of his damage in Monday's series opener against the Nationals. He allowed two runs on 10 hits over 5 1/3 innings.

The 22-year-old gave up all of his damage in the second when, after putting the first two men on, he surrendered back-to-back run-scoring hits. He threw 58 of his 91 pitches for strikes and was pulled after putting two on in the sixth. Teheran left with the game tied at 2-2 and did not factor into the decision.

The right-hander also struck out five and walked one while lowering his ERA to 5.08.

Teheran is scheduled to pitch next on Saturday against the Mets. He is 1-0 with a 5.63 ERA in two appearances (one start) in his career against New York.
