Cole's streak on line in opener of DH at Atlanta

Two of the top starting pitchers in baseball will be on display Wednesday when the Atlanta Braves host the New York Yankees in a doubleheader. The stars won't be facing each other in the same game, though.

Bad weather led to a postponement of Tuesday's scheduled game and prompted a doubleheader of seven-inning games on Wednesday.

The first game will feature New York's Gerrit Cole (4-0, 2.75 ERA) vs. Atlanta's Ian Anderson, who will make his major league debut. The second game matches New York's Masahiro Tanaka (0-1, 4.60) against Atlanta's Max Fried (4-0, 1.32).

Cole brings a 20-game winning streak into the game, tied for the third-longest stretch in major league history.
