For example, Motoya claimed that "Japanese aggression, the Nanking Massacre, and comfort women" were "fabricated stories" or "fictitious". His book is available in each of the guest rooms at the hotel. This created controversy, particularly in China, which caused the games organizers to ask the hotel to take appropriate actions and remove them from guest rooms.

The Organizing Committee will gain exclusive access over the hotel from February 12, and an organization committee official said, "we can decide what is removed and placed in the guest rooms so that we don’t place any items that offend athletes, from not only China, but also any other nation”. Eventually both South Korea and China requested that their athletes stay at a different hotel, and the organizing committee obliged by changing their accommodations to the Sapporo Prince Hotel.

2017 Atlanta Braves season, Regular season, Season summary, July
Back east in Philadelphia on July 28, Teherán suffered a fifth-inning collapse, surrendering seven runs – including back to back solo homers to Aaron Altherr and Cameron Rupp, and a three-run shot to Tommy Joseph – as the Braves fell 10-3 to the league-worst Phillies. Newcomb exited the fifth inning after giving up one run off two hits in five innings pitched, but the 3-1 lead the Braves maintained collapsed through faulty relief pitching, resulting in Herrera's game-tying shot in the ninth and Ty Kelly's walk-off single in the 11th.

Dickey allowed just six hits and no earned runs, only allowing one unearned run off a wild pitch, over seven innings pitched, but their inability to score with runners in scoring position (they went 1-for-8 on July 30) cost them when Freddy Galvis' walk-off single notched them a 2-1 loss. Herrera and Maikel Franco's homers completed a four-game sweep of the Braves on July 31.

Giancarlo Stanton's two homers midway through the first of a three-game series on August 4 put the Miami Marlins up 3-1, but sloppy fielding from the Marlins and a three-run shot in the sixth inning by Markakis sealed a 5-3 victory for the Braves. The next night, the Braves took advantage of the Marlins' depleted bullpen to score five runs, three off a left-center Freeman homer, in the seventh inning to put the 7-2 contest out of reach. Six strong innings from Jose Urena, allowing only a single run off three hits, and a three-run homer by Marcell Ozuna prevented the Braves from completing a three-game sweep of the Marlins in a 4-1 loss.
