Everyone knew what Team Colombia’s biggest strength was heading into its first World Baseball Classic.
And so far both All-Star starting pitchers Julio Teheran and Jose Quintana have delivered.
One night after failing to capitalize on a gem by Quintana, Teheran gave his country its second solid start in as many days, propelling Colombia to its first-ever WBC victory – a 4-1 win over Canada in front of 17,209 at Marlins Park.
Teheran, the ace of the Braves’ rotation, gave up a run in the first on a single by his Atlanta teammate Freddie Freeman that scored Justin Morneau.
