    Julio Teheran's 2017 statistics aren't exactly glowing.

    The Braves' ace has a 4.39 ERA, the highest of his career. He's likely to finish with his fewest strikeouts in five full seasons.

    But Teheran is finishing the year strong. The two-time All-Star has a 2.25 ERA in his last eight starts, recovering from a dismal stretch this summer that included an Atlanta record nine straight losses at home.

    "I want to do good at the park we play in the most," he said. "I'm glad that I found a way. We've just got to keep it going."

    Pinch-hitter Johan Camargo doubled in two runs in the three-run eighth inning, Teheran pitched seven strong innings and the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-2 on Saturday night.
