Sunday’s game: Braves at Phillies
Where: Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia
When: 1:35 p.m.
TV/Radio: FSSO/680, 93.7, 106.7
Probable starting pitchers: RH Julio Teheran (6-6, 4.71) vs. LH Adam Morgan (2-2, 4.05)
What's new: The Braves wrap up this 10-day, three-city trip with Teheran on the mound, which is a dangerous place for him to be. Teheran's road struggles have been well-documented, and now his home-road splits are mirror images of each other. He's 5-1 (with a 2.37 ERA) in 10 starts at Turner Field, and he's 1-5 (with a 7.24 ERA) in 11 starts on the road. The Phillies might see a different Teheran than the one who dominated them for seven innings July 3 at Turner Field when he allowed one unearned run on seven hits in a 2-1 win over Adam Morgan. Teheran hasn't won in four starts since then, going 0-2 with a 5.16 ERA. Ryan Howard is 3-for-18 (.167) against Teheran in his career. Two of those hits were homers, including the first one Teheran gave up in his major league debut May 7, 2011, a 3-0 loss to the Phillies.
