Live blog: Braves still up, 1-0, in third at Turner

It was going Atlanta's way in the early innings Sunday at Turner Field as Julio Teheran was putting away the Tigers and Justin Verlander was paying a price, initially anyway, for allowing the Braves a first-inning run.

The Braves held a 1-0 lead entering the bottom of the third. The Tigers had one quick shot at Teheran -- in the second when J.D. Martinez swatted a leadoff single and moved to second on a one-out walk to Nick Castellanos.

Teheran, though, got James McCann on a strikeout and then put away Jose Iglesias on a blooper that was gloved in center field by talented rookie shortstop Dansby Swanson.
