Tim Hudson's first start with the Giants was a rousing success, as he fired 7 1/3 shutout innings, striking out seven, in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Arizona.
This was vintage Hudson. The 38-year-old scattered three hits and didn't issue a free pass. Hudson's ERA increased each of the last three years in Atlanta -- culminating in 2013's 3.97 -- which helped savvy owners scoop up the crafty veteran at a bargain price in spring drafts. Hudson's signature control isn't going anywhere, and he's going to fit AT&T Park like a glove. Arizona better have a better gameplan for Tuesday's rematch in Hudson's home debut.
