ATLANTA — Julio Teheran said he took the mound with one goal: "Show everybody what I can do." Teheran showed he can beat Jose Fernandez, the Marlins' young star who ranks third in the majors with his 2.33 ERA. Freddie Freeman hit a two-run homer in the first inning, Teheran outpitched Fernandez in a matchup of young right-handers, and the Atlanta Braves beat Miami 2-1 Friday night for their fifth straight win. "I've got an idea these kids are going to match up a lot in the future," said Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez.
