Turner Field will be the home to a huge early May game between the Atlanta Braves and San Francisco Giants. The Giants will send right hander Ryan Vogelsong to the mound to take on one of the best young pitchers in the sport, Julio Teheran.

Vogelsong has not gotten off to a good start for the Giants. In 5 starts, he has allowed 14 earned runs on 26 hits and 10 walks in 23 1/3 innings with 5 home runs allowed. In 2 of his past 3 starts, he has pitched like the starter the team was hoping to see throughout the season. In his last start against the Cleveland Indians, he threw 7 shutout innings with just 2 hits and 2 walks allowed with 6 strikeouts.

Teheran has been lights out for the Braves this season, going 2-1 with a 1.47 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and .207 BAA. In 43 innings, he has allowed just 7 earned runs on 31 hits and 9 walks with 26 strikeouts. Many analysts have been questioning his arm strength which appears to be down, but he has done nothing but throw quality start after quality start. Against the Giants in his career, he has allowed 15 hits in 47 at-bats with 1 home run allowed to Buster Posey. He hasn’t given up many runs and will look to help the Braves get back on their early season roll.
