BRADENTON, Fla. — Jason Heyward hit a solo home run, and Julio Teheran struck out two in two innings but Atlanta fell to 0-3 in Grapefruit League play after Pittsburgh had its way with the Braves' relievers in a 9-2 win for the Pirates. Teheran and Sean Gilmartin — who pitched two scoreless innings of his own — are in competition for fifth starter spot for Atlanta. Manager Fredi Gonzalez all but called it a draw and said the team plans to send the 22-year-olds out there in tandem at least once more.
