Yankees on deck at Braves

INSIDE THE MATCHUPS

YANKEES: Sabathia took a rare loss his most recent time out on Thursday against the Rays in a 7-3 defeat. He gave up five runs (three earned) over seven innings, saving face by striking out 12. He is 1-1 with a 3.24 ERA in two career starts against the Braves.

BRAVES: Though he lacked command on Thursday, allowing five walks to the Marlins, Minor, 24, managed to pitch out of jams and pick up the win with one run in five innings. He has never faced the Yankees.

STAT SO?

YANKEES: The most saves in a season since 1997 by a Yankee not named Mariano Rivera is Steve Karsay’s 12 in 2002. Rafael Soriano has nine.

Mike Minor

BRAVES: Renowned Mets killer Chipper Jones has done plenty of damage against the Yankees as well. In 23 career games against the Yankees, Jones has hit .352 with five HRs and 17 RBIs.
