The Braves managed to get only four hits in the game. Justin Upton, Freddie Freeman, Chris Johnson and Julio Teheran had the hits for Atlanta. The offense was again plentiful with their strikeouts, whiffing thirteen times as a team. Justin Upton struck out three times alone, his brother B.J. struck out twice as well as Jordan Schafer and Evan Gattis. Smith pitched great for San Diego and once again, a pitcher that has struggled, pitched like a Cy Young contender against the Braves.
Teheran didn't pitch horribly, but he got no production from the offense to help his cause as he fell to 12-8 on the year. He pitched six and two-thirds innings and gave up four runs on seven hits, including homers to Tommy Medica and Chase Headley, who hit a homer in all three games of the series. Scott Downs came in and got the final out of the seventh by striking out the last batter. Kameron Loe pitched the eighth inning and struck out two in his perfect inning, Anthony Varvaro then pitched a scoreless ninth to close out the game.
The Braves are now 89-60 on the year. They will travel to the Nation's Capital to play the Nationals for three games beginning tomorrow night at 7:10 p.m. Mike Minor (13-7) will take the mound in game one for the Braves against Dan Haren (9-13) who will start for Washington.
Julio Teheran throws a pitch against the Padres on Sunday afternoon, he didn't receive any offensive support in the Braves' 4-0 loss.
