After last night’s walkoff win (their seventh!), the Braves will look to accomplish something they haven’t done since 2014 in the series finale: claim a winning season against the Cincinnati Reds. They’ll send a hopefully-effective Julio Teheran to do so, who will attempt to extend his stellar July into another calendar month. Standing in their way, though, will be Sonny Gray, who arguably had an even better July.
Teheran’s July was quite a turnaround from his earlier season performance. He posted a 3.48 FIP and 18.0% K%-BB%. The former is his best mark since August 2017; the latter his best since June 2016.
