Tim Hudson Tosses A Shutout [MLB Daily Walk-Off]

Atlanta Can Hold Off On Hitting the Pitching Panic Button
by CriticalFanatic
>7 days ago

Tom Glavine and Mike Hampton have hit the Hampton List, John Smoltz is considering a move to the bullpen and Tim Hudson had pitched horribly in his last two outings. It was Panic! time at the Turner.

Worry no more - well, at least not as much. Hudson was dealing last night: CG, 3 H, 0 ER, 10 K and his 11th career shutout.
"Considering the last few starts I've had were not exactly textbook for me, it was nice to come out here, give us a good chance to win, feel confident out there, make some pitches and miss some bats," said Hudson, back on track at 4-2 with a 2.95 ERA. "It's nice to go out there and make a statement and pitch deep into the game."
Edison Volquez pitched well again for the Redlegs, keeping his ERA at 1.27.

Braves 2, Reds 0.

Tejada promises HR to sick kid Tejada delivered. Miguel also promised the kid he wasn't over 30-years-old, but that's another story. Houston hit three straight home runs, Lance Berkman and Carlos Lee followed with shots to the Crawford Boxes. Astros 7, Brewers 4.

Dodging Losses
Another big night for a former Brave, and yes, it wasn't Andruw Jones. Rafael Furcal continued his big week with three more hits and four RBIs. Meanwhile, Jones lifted his big batting average to .161. LA has won seven straight. Dodgers 11, Rockies 6.

Jose Reyes nearly gets inside-the-park cycle Having already recorded a triple earlier in the game, Reyes tried to take a long shot off the center field wall into a home run. Not so much, not even close in fact, but I say if you've got the slightest chance at the cycle you go for it. Reyes' four hits and three runs lifted New York over Arizona. Micah Owings was walked twice in his two at-bats. Mets 7, DBacks 2.

You forgot the Cubs/Cardinals highlights, Dont worry Jason, I'll take care of them for you     

 

Cardinals stay atop in National League Central Skip Schumaker played the hero with a walk-off, extra innings, two run homerun on a night where one teams starter walked 4 batters in 2/3's of the first inning (Rich Hill), Cardinal manager Tony, I'm the smartest man alive - just ask me, LaRussa tried an unsuccessful double steal with his cleanup man up with two outs, Adam Wainwright and Carlos Zambrano showed that Micah Owings isnt the only pitcher that can hit, Alfonso Soriano proved that he should be a DH and Cardinal closer Jason Isringhausen was booed off the mound after blowing his 3rd save in 12 chances.  If that isnt rivalry baseball, I dont know what is.  If the rest of the season series is like this, expect Jason, Scott and all Cards and Cubs fans to have nervous breakdowns by the time October 1st rolls around.

If Piniella doesn't figure out that Soriano should be batting 5th ... yes, I'll have a nervous breakdown.

Hey Lou, here's an idea: when you have a 38 year old relief pitcher who hasn't thrown in 3 years ... maybe not pitch him a 2nd inning. Just a tough. That is all. ;)

That Tejada story was pretty cool.  Reminded me of that one Seinfeld edpisode where Kramer promises the sick kid that Paul O'Neill will hit two home runs for him.

lol, that kid bugged me.  Triple with a throwing error.  "Hey, that's not a home run!"  "Give it up, kid!"  Then Kramer wrestled it away from him.
