MILWAUKEE — In losing their season opener, the Atlanta Braves got a different kind of win to earn a place in the replay record book. Julio Teheran pitched six effective innings and allowed two runs in his first opening day start, but was tagged with a loss after Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo shut down the Braves in a 2-0 victory Monday. Still, Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez can add a new bullet point to his resume after getting the first call overturned under baseball's expanded replay system.
