Offense sputters in 4-1 loss to Mets

The game began on a good note for both teams as Julio Teheran and Jason Vargas got rolling early. Hits were few and far between while the starters were in the game for both teams as the early innings flew by.

Vargas breezed through seven innings with his season ERA of over 6.00 being whittled down to the upper 5’s. His 86 MPH fastballs had the Braves completely off stride and Atlanta could get nothing going.

Julio Teheran was equally impressive through six innings of one run…
