Braves starter Julio Teheran was dominant at times Saturday, but got little help from the offense in a 3-0 loss to the Nationals.
Teheran struck out a season-high 10 batters in seven innings of work, and allowed only three runs on seven hits. Unfortunately, the margin for error was nonexistent as his offense provided no support in his five loss of the season. He allowed seven hits and a pair of walks on 107 pitches in the loss.
Teheran fell to 6-5, and is winless over his last three starts, despite allowing just four runs over his last 15 innings of work. He still ranks seventh in the National League with a 2.41 ERA heading into his next outing, set for Friday in Philadelphia.
