PHILADELPHIA -- The brisk air brought out Julio Teherans best more so than facing Cliff Lee. Teheran pitched a three-hitter, Evan Gattis homered among a career-best four hits, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 1-0 Wednesday night. Teheran (3-1) retired his first 12 batters before Ryan Howard led off the bottom of the fifth with an infield single. The 23-year-old righty struck out four and got 14 outs on flyballs in his first complete game in 38 career starts. He became the ninth Braves starter in the first 14 games this year to allow one run or none. "The cold didnt bother me," Teheran said after breezing through the lineup on a night when it was only 47 degrees at first pitch. "When its cold, I try to focus even more and not pay attention to the weather." As for beating a former Cy Young Award winner, Teheran said: "I dont pay attention to who Im pitching against." Philadelphia wasted an excellent outing by Lee (2-2). The ace left-hander struck out 13 and pitched around 11 hits in a complete game, throwing a career-high 128 pitches. Gattis drove an 0-2 pitch into the left-field seats in the fourth. It was his fifth homer in his last three games at Citizens Bank Park. "I was just trying to put the ball in play," Gattis said. Lee, a prolific strike-thrower, often gets hurt on 0-2 pitches. He entered the game with five hits allowed, including two doubles, among a dozen 0-2 pitches. "Im going to allow hits 0-2 and Im going to get outs 0-2," Lee said. "I hope I get every hitter in that situation." After the slow-footed Howard reached on a slow roller toward second base that was fielded by shifted third baseman Chris Johnson, Teheran retired the next 11 batters before Carlos Ruiz lined a single to left with two outs in the eighth. Jimmy Rollins hit a single with two outs in the ninth. Rollins stole second on a 3-0 pitch to Chase Utley. But Utley following with a game-ending groundout. "Teheran mixed speeds on his fastball, had different movement on his speed and mixed in his other pitches," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. Pitchers certainly had the advantage against bundled-up hitters. "Both pitchers were unbelievable," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Lee was excellent. The homer just got over the fence. Teheran was terrific. He was dominating." It was the first 1-0 game that featured two complete games since Seattle beat Minnesota 1-0 on Aug. 27, 2012. Felix Hernandez got the win for the Mariners over Liam Hendricks. The series resumed after Tuesday nights rainout, which will be made up in June. The Braves rallied for a 9-6 win Monday night when Dan Uggla hit a ninth-inning grand slam off fill-in closer Jake Diekman.

Weve let them beat us twice this season and its not a good feeling. Its a not good feeling losing to anybody, but I really hate losing to Montreal.Earlier this season both the Redblacks and Alouettes were struggling to find any success, but Montreal has turned its season around while the Redblacks continue to struggle.They started off slow just like we did, but found a way to start pulling off the wins, Pottinger said. Its something we couldnt figure out, but weve got three games left and weve got a chance to prove that well be a team to be reckoned with next season.Much of the Alouetttes success coincides with quarterback Jonathan Crompton taking over.dddddddddddd Crompton comes to Ottawa with a 6-1 record to his credit, although he hasnt posted great numbers against the Redblacks.In the two victories against the Ottawa, hes 29-for-54 (53.7 per cent) for 426 yards with three interceptions and no touchdown passes.The previous two games between these teams were anything but pretty, and Ottawa quarterback Henry Burris anticipates much of the same for Friday.Its been two tight battles against Montreal, Burris said. Its a game Im definitely looking forward to. It was a physical game last time and there were some knick-knack things that happened here and there and those guys have a hot streak going on right now.The Redblacks are expected to give rookie backup quarterback Danny OBrien some playing time during Fridays game as they would like to get a better look at the 24-year-old.Notes: Jonathan Williams will replace Jeremiah Johnson at RB for Fridays game, John Delahunt will replace James Green and DL Moton Hopkins will be a game time decision. The Redblacks will post their eighth straight sellout this season on Friday. Fans are asked to arrive early to the game to ensure everyone is in their seat for a pre-game tribute. ' ' '
