March 31, 2014: @ Milwaukee Brewers

With team ace Tim Hudson moving on to San Francisco following the 2013 season, Julio Teheran was promoted to opening day starter in just his second full season as a major league pitcher.  He certainly didn’t disappoint by going 6 innings in Milwaukee, giving up 2 runs on 7 hits and just 1 walk.

A shaky 4th inning was his undoing, and the Atlanta Braves were unable to overcome those 2 scores as Julio suffered what would prove to be the only opening day loss of his career.

April 6, 2015: @ Miami Marlins

In just his second outing as the Atlanta Braves opening day starter, Teheran looked like a true ace by giving up just 1 run on 5 hits and 1 walk with 4 strikeouts through 6 strong innings.  In an attempt to go 7 innings in the season debut, Teheran was met with 3 straight singles to load the bases with no outs but was saved when the bullpen orchestrated a double play and a pop out to get out of the inning unscathed.

The Braves went on to top the Marlins 2-1 for Teheran’s only opening day win…so far.
