Two righthanders who may be headed on different career paths meet tonight as the New York Yankees visit the Atlanta Braves for the first time in nine years in the opener of a three-game series.

Chien-Ming Wang earned another start for New York despite losing 3-2 to Washington on Wednesday. He allowed three runs over five innings after failing to last past the fourth inning in four of his first five starts.

Tommy Hanson, on the other hand, has gotten better with each outing  for the Braves and allowed three hits and four walks in six innings Thursday in a 7-0 win at Cincinnati.

This will also be the first game in Atlanta for Yankees slugger Mark Teixeira since he was traded by the Braves to the Los Angeles Angels on July 29.

New York is 10-9 all-time against Atlanta in the regular season, including 4-1 at Turner Field.
