ATLANTA -- Julio Teheran was bound to eventually allow the Mets to score a run against him. But he would have rather not done so on a night when the Braves were unable to solve a struggling hurler who was forced to start on short rest.
As Teheran was proving vincible en route to Wednesday night's 4-1 loss to the Mets at SunTrust Park, the offense was being subdued by Jason Vargas, who entered the game as one of baseball's worst starting pitchers and exited it with the satisfaction of having been a capable substitute for the injured Noah Syndergaard.
