ATLANTA -- Tanner Roark and Julio Teheran each has a 2.81 ERA to tie for eighth-best among qualified pitchers in the National League.That is where the statistical similarity ends, though.The records of the two right-handers reflect the positions of their teams, with Roark 13-6 for the Washington Nationals, which top the National League East, and Teheran is 3-9 for the last-place Atlanta Braves.Roark will try to continue his dominance against the Braves this season and for his career on Friday night, with Teheran coming off a stint on the disabled list to start for Atlanta.Roark has won his past four outings and has gone at least seven innings in 15 of his 24 starts in establishing himself as the workhorse in a rotation that is loaded with much bigger names.I pride myself is going as long as I can and as hard as I can, he said. Thats what starting pitchers are supposed to do.Roark has gone seven innings in each of his two victories against the Braves this season, allowing just one run and nine hits. He is 5-1 with a 1.77 ERA in nine career starts against Atlanta.Hes hungry. Hes like a warrior, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said. He doesnt run from anybody. Hes like the epitome of a competitor.It was Teheran, though, who pitched in the All-Star Game -- as the Braves lone representative -- while Roark missed out because Stephen Strasburg and Max Scherzer represented the Nationals rotation.Teheran, who missed three because of a lat strain, is a misleading 3-9 and still looking for his first victory at home, where he is 0-5.The native of Colombia worked five innings in a rehab outing for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.I didnt feel anything and thats a good thing, Teheran said. Im glad we took care of it before it got worse.Teheran has pitched against the Nationals 13 times in his career, going 3-3 with a 3.95 ERA. He is 0-1 with a 5.54 ERA in two starts this year.When Teheran went on the disabled list, it left the Braves without their only tested starter.The last time a Braves starter worked past six innings was Teheran, who went seven in a 1-0 victory at Colorado on July 17.It feels real good to get him back. Hes an experienced guy, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said. You talk about a green rotation and guys rushed up here out of necessity really. It will be nice to get him back in the swing of things and pitching every five days.Friday will be the first time Teheran has pitched as a father. A son, Jordan, was born on Tuesday and came home from the hospital on Thursday.Ive got another motivation to play, Teheran said.The Nationals have won nine of the 10 games against the Braves this season.
