Braves 1, Phillies 0: Julio Teheran fired a three-hit shutout to outduel Cliff Lee, and Evan Gattis went 4-for-4 with his third homer in two games off Philadelphia pitching as visiting Atlanta extended its winning streak to five.

Teheran (2-1) surrendered three singles and did not walk a batter, striking out four to post his first career complete game. Gattis, who blasted two homers Monday, led off the fourth with a solo homer – his fifth in six career games against the Phillies – and Chris Johnson added three hits.

Lee (2-2) struck out 13 while pitching all nine innings and allowed one run on 11 hits, throwing 85 of his 128 pitches for strikes. Chase Utley went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, grounding out with the tying run on second to end the game.

Gattis produced the game’s lone run in the fourth, lining an 0-2 Lee offering just over the glove of left fielder Domonic Brown and into the front row for his fourth homer of the season. Lee then gave up back-to-back singles before getting out of the jam and settling into a groove, striking out seven across the final four innings.

Teheran pitched four perfect innings before Ryan Howard led off the fifth with a dribbler to the right side of the mound against an over-shifted infield, barely beating Johnson’s flip to first base. Teheran set down 11 in a row until Carlos Ruiz singled to left with two outs in the eighth, but got pinch-hitter Cody Asche to fly out and pitched around Jimmy Rollins’ two-out single in the ninth.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Both teams wore No. 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson, after Tuesday’s game was postponed by rain. … Lee recorded his fifth career game of 10-plus strikeouts against Atlanta. … Gattis is 10-for-16 with three homers during his current four-game hitting streak.
