This was definitely one pitching matchup you probably didn’t feel that comfortable with. This probably isn’t a surprise, but the Nats are the division opponent that Julio Teheran has struggled the most against. But not tonight. I would have loved to see him get through 6, but after 3 singles in the 6th brought him the Nats’ only run off of him, his night was over.
It’s still hard to know who Julio is. One thing that has always been appreciated by Julio is that he almost never misses a start, which has had a lot of value to a team with so many young pitchers and injury concerns.
