Tim Hudson was masterful last night as the Braves defeated the Nationals 3-0. He gave up only three hits in 8 innings and only two runners even reached second if I recall correctly. Huddy has been great this season and his record stands at 2-0 with a 2.17 ERA, and even that shouldn't be as high, if not for opening night when Frenchy's throw to Yunel was missed because Yunel backed away.
Yunel made up for it tonight though with a solo homer in the 6th. Until then it was 0-0. Matty Diaz added some Geico Insurance runs in the top of the 9th and Moylan got the save in the bottom of the 9th, striking out Zimmerman to end the game. (The last time Moylan faced Zimmerman in Nationals' Park the game ended, as Zimmerman crushed the game winning HR.)
But Smoltzie is slated to get the start today with Glavine going tomorrow. The Braves' bats REALLY need to wake up. It would have been a shame if Huddy would have lost this one or gotten a no decision because the Bravos couldn't score many runs of Matt Choo Choo or whatever his name was. This no name shouldn't be able to match pitches with Huddy. Oh well.
And PS, Chipper aggravated his leg running out a ball. Nice. Who had April 11 in the pool? That didn't take long. The worst thing about this potential injury, he was ACTUALLY hitting the ball, unlike the rest of the offense. Maybe Big Tex can step it up now...Maybe. Same with Frenchy? Maybe?
