Braves' Julio Teheran loses no-hit bid with 2 outs in 7th inning

NEW YORK — Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Julio Tehran took a no-hitter into the 7th inning Thursday afternoon.

Then someone must have committed the ultimate baseball sin and mentioned the no-hitter.

With two outs in the 7th inning, and a 1-2 count, Asdrubal Cabrera doubled down the right-field line.

Tehran eventually got out of the inning and the Braves got out of the inning.

They would go onto win the game 11-0 and stay in 1st in the NL East.

Channel 2 Sports Director Zach Klein will have highlights and reaction from today's game on Channel 2 Action News at 6 p.m.

The 27-year-old right-hander retired his first 11 batters, walked Yoenis Cespedes on a 3-1 count in the fourth, then got nine more outs in a row before Cabrera's double.

Teheran pitched no-hit ball into the seventh for the third time. Pittsburgh pinch-hitter Brandon Inge singled to break up a bid after 7 2/3 innings on June 5, 2013, and Philadelphia's Freddy Galvis led off the seventh with a single on Sept. 20, 2015.

An All-Star in 2014 and 2016, Teheran entered 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in six starts this year. His average fastball velocity this year had dipped by 2 mph to just under 90 mph.
