Hudson Makes Statement, Leads Braves to Victory

Maybe Tim Hudson was embarrassed or frustrated by only going 3 innings in 2 of his last three starts. Maybe he was responding to being the unquestioned ace with Smoltz's move to the bullpen. Or maybe, just maybe, he read this blog and got mad that I said Jurrjens is the Braves' best starter.

Today, Hudson had his best performance of the year, throwing a complete game three-hitter and shutting out the Reds. He allowed no walks and threw a staggering 81 strikes of 110 pitches. Add in 10 K's and that the Reds could not muster a single extra-base hit, and you have the best outing by a Brave all year. Way to go, Tim! Maybe I should write derogatory articles more often.

In other NL East news, John Lannan had been riding a scoreless innings streak, but got lit up by the Pirates.
