Teheran unable to find grip in chilly conditions

With a windy 49-degree day serving as the backdrop, Teheran surrendered four runs in 4 1/3 innings and matched a career high by issuing five walks. Most of the damage was incurred within a 32-pitch first inning, during which he issued three walks before Daniel Murphy delivered a one-out, three-run double.

"He just didn't look right," Braves catcher A.J. Pierzynski said. "Even in warmups, he was blowing on his hands more than you would normally see. He just didn't look comfortable out there. I don't know if it was his grip or what was going on.
