From Rotoworld: Teheran was tagged for four earned runs, nine hits and a walk with six strikeouts across 6 1/3 innings in a road loss Saturday against the Dodgers. Teheran slipped to 6-1 with a 2.84 ERA in 10 road outings, while the opposition is still hitting just .237 against him away from home. His next scheduled start is set for Friday in Philadelphia opposite Jeremy Hellickson.
Hellickson coughed up six runs in five innings but escaped with a no-decision against the Brewers on Saturday. He gave up seven hits and two walks while striking out six batters in the contest. Outfielder Ryan Braun inflicted most of the damage, doubling in two runs in the third and swatting a two-run bomb in the fifth. Hellickson trailed 6-0 by the time he was done pitching, but his teammates came back to tie the game up before falling behind again in the ninth. He has a 4.73 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP after 20 starts.
