Teheran belts homer, Braves come back and hold on

          Julio Teheran went 5.2 up and down innings, but helped salvage his own day with a homer for Atlanta’s first run, and the Braves went on for a 5-4 10-inning win.

          Nick Markakis put Atlanta on top with a solo homer in the top of the 10th, and then Jesse Biddle allowed a single before finishing off the Mets in the bottom of the 10th.

          The Mets gave A.J. Minter his first blown save opp of the year with a run in the bottom of the ninth after the Braves took the lead in the top half.

          Atlanta was 1 for 5 with runners in scoring position, and stranded seven. The numbers were worse for New York: 1 for 10 and eight.

          Markakis had a third of Atlanta’s 12 hits with a 4-for-5 day, Ender Inciarte adding a 3-for-4 effort with a seventh-inning homer that tied the game.

Julio Teheran, today's #Braves starter, has an 0.86 ERA and .153 opponents' average in three starts against the #Mets this season. It'll be RH Corey Oswalt's first start against ATL./DOB

Freeman sure makes beating the shift look easy./GB

McNeil's double extends Mets' lead to 2-0. Teheran has not been sharp. Two walks resulted in runs./GB

Rosario had only 18 walks in 364 plate appearances over 103 games before walking each of his first two times up today vs. Teheran, giving Rosario his third multi-walk game of the season/DOB

Well, Teheran homered - yes, you read that right - to left field. His first (duh). Braves on the board. First Braves pitcher to homer since Jaime Garcia's grand slam in LA last year./GB

Teheran: 5 2/3 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 4 BB, 6 K, 1 HR. (93/55), 3rd straight start he's lasted fewer than 6 innings but 1st time in past 14 starts vs. Mets./DOB

Ender Inciarte plastered a baseball. We're tied 3-3./GB

Oh wow. Was hard to tell it hit off the M&M sign. Mesoraco's homer off Minter ties the game in the ninth. 4-4./GB

Markakis 10th-inning homer, his lucky 13th, gives #Braves a 5-4 lead and him a four-hit game./DOB

Braves win, 5-4. They found a way, and took three of four in New York. 60-48./GB

Teheran's homer was his first since high school, for those who might've been wondering./DOB
