Tim Hudson struggled through 3 2/3 innings on Friday, giving up six runs in a loss to the Giants.

Hudson has given up six runs in both of his losses this year, while never allowing more than three runs in any of his other six starts. He's not the ace he used to be, but he's still a safe bet to be useful in ERA, WHIP and victories.

Tim Hudson allowed one run over seven innings to pick up his 200th career win in the Braves' 8-1 victory over the Nationals on Tuesday.

Hudson helped his own cause with a solo home run, but the story of the game was his pitching. Hudson dominated over his seven innings, allowing just three hits while striking out six. Even at his age, Hudson remains a solid play in mixed leagues. He'll next get the Mets on Sunday.

Tim Hudson was hit hard in Friday's loss to the Pirates, surrendering six runs on nine hits in four-plus innings of work.

Hudson also issued a pair of free passes and struck out two in the disappointing performance. Pedro Alvarez tagged Hudson for a two-run bomb as part of the three run second inning, then the Pirates added three in the fifth before chasing him from the game. Hudson now sits at 2-1 with a 4.09 ERA and 15/7 K/BB ratio through 22 innings on the season. He'll look to get back on track when he takes on the Rockies in Colorado on Wednesday.
