Sunday, April 24, 2011

SAN FRANCISCO - Tim Hudson understood why had to leave with the ninth inning as close to long, a simple the only thing that prevents a complete game.

Still, makes no easier to actually leave. Hudson outdueled Tim Lincecum and almost released his first full game of this year, Martin Prado leadoff man led in the first three races of Atlanta and the pace of Braves to win 5-2 San Francisco Giants on Saturday just ensure his third series of the season. "It is very disappointing." Obviously to go out and get two outs in the ninth, you want to finish, "said Hudson."My pitch count got up there and I was slowly working. "But I'm not a boy who takes great pride in full games." Hudson (3-2) followed by Tommy Hanson strong exit a night earlier with its impressive performance in a match of two left-wing insufficient release of hard disk that share a name. Hudson allowed nine hits, struck out four and did not walk a batter in an efficient, 112-tone output. Manager Fredi Gonzalez left Hudson to start the ninth, but gave direction of Pat Burrell double and a sacrifice fly to Miguel Tejada. Lincecum (2-2) was selected for five runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings later carried a no-hit bid in the eighth inning Monday in Colorado. Two-time Cy Young Award of winning NL also walked six career and struck out six, allowing clean racing mostly from also resign in August during a run of cinco-Inicio five recent career - worst. Brian McCann added a single in two runs in the seventh against Javier López to put an end to a 0-for-10 drought and further back to Hudson. This output was dominant pitchers reminiscent of days through the San Francisco Bay as Member "Oakland's big three" - with Hudson continues hitting 91 mph on the radar even at the final gun. Hudson said that "it's fun to go out and in front of a packed crowd, the fields of the defenders and one of the best pitchers far now, tone". "It will be good tomorrow and go for the sweep". Start-up of no. 3 of Atlanta did so only six innings in his previous two outings. This time, he worked in front and quietly left problems when the Giants created possibilities. While its only clean innings came in the first and sixth, was helped by two double plays. Hudson had thrown only 72 pitches through six, 23 less than Lincecum. "It is probably a little crazy I that carried it out." It gave him a chance, "said González." "Huddy was excellent." Craig Kimbrel retired pinch save Buster Posey on a centrifugal to the Centre for the final out for his sixth in seven chances and second in as many games. The reigning World Series champion Giants lost their third in a row and had broke his streak of four straight winning series. Lincecum gave only their third defeat in nine starts race against Atlanta. Lincecum said that "it cannot quite good results when you walk six guys,". "It is almost as a boy in every inning." It is obviously not helping you or your team with a type of back against the wall of the situation. "Today was one of those situations where I did." Lincecum day began with two tours of Prado and no. 2 hitter Jason Heyward and yet escaped the first facing the minimum. PRADO was caught stealing, and then, Freddie Freeman is based on a set of double then reached Heyward. Lincecum was visited mound of release coach Dave Righetti after a single one to Nate McLouth and a tour of Hudson in the third. Prado, then a single in Atlanta run to tie the game. McLouth scored that they run and then the single go-ahead of the field in the fifth. PRADO came in a fielder in the seventh's choice for another RBI. González had rested Chipper Jones, as planned, but Jones also was nursing a sore right knee that was not considered serious. McCann likely to at the end of the series on Sunday, did not engage with Jones in the alignment of its 39 birthday. Gonzalez does not want two stars on the bench in the same day if possible. Cody Ross had his first hit and drove in his first run of the season after be activated from the disabled list earlier in the week. Burrell hit a double in the second output and easily beat a game close to the plate to score single subsequent Ross. After that inning, Hudson allowed only three more use get to second. Boot of Domingo Giants Jonathan Sanchez was fighting against a ruling of the flu that forced him to receive an IV of dehydration, but manager Bruce Bochy expects that the left-handed than their home.
