ATLANTA - Julio Teheran won for the first time in 10 starts, rookie Dansby Swanson drove in three runs and the Atlanta Braves beat the San Diego Padres 7-3 on Tuesday night.
Teheran began the night with the lowest run support in the major leagues, but the two-time All-Star used a rare offensive outburst by Atlanta to earn his first home victory since last Oct. 2, a span of 14 starts.
The Braves, who rank last in runs, used six hits to take a 5-0 lead off journeyman Edwin Jackson in a five-run third. Adonis Garcia, Freddie Freeman, Jace Peterson and Swanson had RBI singles. Tyler Flowers added a sacrifice fly.
Teheran (4-9) allowed six hits and two runs and struck out eight in seven innings. The Braves' ace returned from the disabled list two weeks ago after missing 26 games with a right lat strain. He gave up nine runs in 11 innings over his last two starts.
Jackson (3-5) allowed seven hits, five runs and three walks in 2 2/3 innings. The 11-year veteran, pitching for his 11th team, has a 6.34 ERA in eight starts and has given up 18 earned runs in his last 11 2/3 innings.
Swanson, the first overall pick in the 2015 draft, had a two-run double in the fifth off Carlos Villanueva to put theBraves up 7-2.
Teheran was coming off his worst start of the season when he allowed 11 hits and six runs in six innings of a no decision at Arizona last Wednesday.
His only mistake was a fastball that Oswaldo Arcia hit for his first homer with San Diego, and seventh overall, to cut the lead to 5-2 in the fourth.
The Braves improved to 20-44 at home, worst in the majors.
