"I think I was more focused," Teheran said. "I was trying to pound the zone and trying to attack the hitters. Every time I attack the hitters it's a different game."
Teheran certainly seemed to regain his confident swagger as he carried a no-hit bid into the fifth inning and ended up limiting the Mets to one hit over an efficient seven scoreless innings. His 78-pitch effort might have been extended had a two-out Ryan Lavarnway double in the seventh inning not necessitated the need for Teheran to be lifted for pinch-hitter Pedro Ciriaco, who responded by producing the go-ahead single.
