THE HOT CORNER

BRAVES: In an 8-4 win Friday night in Miami, Julio Teheran ran his scoreless innings streak against the Marlins this season to 24, before Starlin Castro homered off him in the seventh. In four starts against the Marlins, Teheran’s numbers are 14 hits, one run, one walk and 22 strikeouts in 25 innings, equating to a 0.36 ERA with a .161 average against. Ronald Acuna blasted his 31st and 32nd home runs Friday and has seven homers in August, drawing closer in his pursuit of the fifth 40-40 season in MLB history. Ozzie Albies also homered Friday, and Adam Duvall and Charlie Culberson drove in runs during a five-run fifth inning. — GABRIEL BURNS, AJC

NATIONALS: Stephen Strasburg struck out six in seven innings as the Nats lost to the Mets on Friday night, setting a Nationals/Expos franchise record with 1,625 Ks. “That’s a testament to how hard he works,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. “He’s one of the staples to this organization.”

DODGERS: The Dodgers topped 3 million fans at the earliest point in a season in franchise history when they drew 49,538 to their 62nd home game Friday. The Dodgers have drawn 3 million fans in eight consecutive seasons, and they’ve done it 33 times since moving to Los Angeles.

PHILLIES: OF Jay Bruce returned to the injured list, only one day after he returned following a three-week absence for a different injury. Bruce is out this time with a strained left flexor.

RED SOX: LHP David Price says he’s feeling better, just days after getting a cortisone shot to treat a cyst in his left wrist. Price (7-5 with a 4.36 ERA over 21 starts this season) was placed on the injured list Thursday after an MRI revealed the cyst. Price’s hope is the shot will dissolve the cyst but he couldn’t rule out the possibility of having minor surgery in the offseason, if the symptoms return.
