went with the bow tie.MIAMI -- Julio Teherans low ERA rose a smidgen, which was
OK because his modest batting average rose a lot. Teheran pitched 7 1-3 innings
and had two hits Friday night to help the Atlanta Braves move a game ahead of
Miami atop the NL East by beating the Marlins 3-2. The right-hander doubled to
lead off the seventh, and the Braves went on to score twice in the inning to
take the lead. "I felt I had to start a rally, and just tried to put the ball in
play," Teheran said. "I think that was the biggest play of the game." The Braves
trailed 2-0 in the sixth inning but rallied to break a four-game losing streak.
"I know weve been losing," Teheran (5-3) said. "Its nice to do my job and help
the team." Teheran allowed five hits and two runs, which raised his ERA to 1.83.
He came into the game 2 for 25 this season and hiked his batting average to
.143. The right-hander improved to 4-0 in six career starts against the Marlins
with an ERA of 2.50. "Hes a stud," teammate Chris Johnson said. "He earned this
one. He had our backs, and we got him just enough." Three relievers combined to
complete a five-hitter. Craig Kimbrel, who took the loss Thursday at Boston,
pitched a perfect ninth for his 14th save in 16 chances. The Braves won for only
the third time in their past 13 road games. They totalled just eight hits but
had several lineouts. "We hit the ball harder than any other game this year,"
manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We were hitting rockets right at people all night
long. The score wasnt indicative of how well we swung the bat."
Giancarlo Stanton hit his NL-leading 16th home run in the first inning to put
the Marlins up 2-0, but Tom Koehler (4-5) couldnt hold the lead. He gave up
three runs in seven innings and was annoyed to allow four walks. "Its tough to
win ballgames wwhen youre giving a team extra opportunities," he said.
Clint
Dempsey Sounders Jersey. The Marlins lost for only the second time in
their past 13 games against NL East teams. Freddie Freeman went hitless and
struck out three times. He is 0 for 28 with 12 strikeouts against Miami this
year and is batting .347 against the rest of the majors. With the Braves
trailing 2-1 to start the seventh, Gonzalez said it was a no-brainer to let
Teheran hit, in part because the teams bullpen was stretched thin. Teheran
rewarded the decision with an opposite-field double. Jason Heyward followed with
a run-scoring triple, and B.J. Uptons sacrifice fly drove in an unearned run to
put the Braves ahead. Johnson singled home Atlantas first run in the sixth.
While the Braves liked the way Teheran hit, they were more impressed with the
23-year-olds pitching. "The more he goes out there, the more impressed I get --
his demeanour and how he goes about his business," Gonzalez said. "You watch him
grow up in front of your face." Teherans only glaring mistake was a hanging
slider to Stanton, whose homer was a typical tape-measure job. It cleared the
hedge beyond the 418-foot sign in centre field, ending a streak of 15
consecutive scoreless innings for Teheran. He started a new streak the next
inning. "He was throwing four or five different pitches and commanding them
all," Miamis Ed Lucas said. "He does a really good job changing speeds,
especially for somebody who is as young as he is. Hes got a really good feel for
pitching." The Marlins, who began the night with the best home record in
baseball, fell to 20-9 at Marlins Park. NOTES: Miami C Jarrod Saltalamacchia
went 0 for 3 and is in a 1-for-18 slump. ... RHP Ervin Santana (4-2, 4.06) is
scheduled to start Saturday for the Braves against Miami RHP Jacob Turner (1-2,
5.35).
