ST. Steve Johnson NFL Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla.
—Tim Hudson threw another gem against Tampa Bay. Hudson scattered four hits
over 7 2-3 innings, David Ross homered and the Atlanta Braves beat the Rays 2-0
on Sunday. “My sinker has been key for me all year,” Hudson said. “I was able to
keep them off balance.” Hudson (3-1), who is 8-1 overall against the Rays,
retired nine in a row before Ben Zobrist opened the fourth with a line single to
right. The right-hander struck three, walked two and got 14 groundball outs.
“Thats what he is, a groundball machine,” Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said.
“He did it pretty efficiently, too. Ross put the Braves up 1-0 on an
opposite-field, solo-homer to right in the third. Jason Heyward made it 2-0 on a
two-out, RBI single during the sixth. Jonny Venters, who replaced Hudson after
B.J. Upton had an infield single with two outs in the eighth, loaded the bases
by hitting both Matt Joyce and Carlos Pena. The left-hander caught a break when
Pena was called out between first and second when he was hit by Luke Scotts
grounder. “It caught me in mid-stride,” Pena said. “It was just a helpless
feeling because I couldnt go anywhere. I think I was in the air when the ball
was hit, and it was a rocket. It was just bad luck. If I played it less
aggressively, the wrong way, maybe Im able to stop, back off and we score two
runs. So I think there we got penalized for running the bases right.” Scott was
credited with a single on the play. “Got lucky and we won the game,” Venters
said. “A win is a win.” Gonzalez called the eighth an interesting inning. “I
dont think Ive ever seen an inning in the major leagues end the way that inning
ended, but well take it,” Gonzalez said. “We wont give it back.” Craig Kimbrel
pitched the ninth for his 13th save to complete a five-hitter. David Price (6-3)
allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings for Tampa Bay. “Hes been good all
year, and his whole career,” Hudson said. “You knew runs were going to be tough
to come by. That two-run lead felt like it was an eight-run lead because you
didnt expect to get a whole lot today.” The Rays loaded the bases with two outs
in the sixth when Zobrist was hit by a pitch, Upton singled and Joyce walked,
but failed to score when Pena flew out to deep centre. “That was the ballgame
for me,” Hudson said. “I didnt make a great pitch to him, it wasnt the best of
curveballs, and he just missed it.” After Sean Rodriguez had a one-out bloop
double down the right-field line in the seventh, Hudson got out of the jam by
getting consecutive grounders from Will Rhymes and Elliot Johnson. Rodriguez,
playing third, took a hit away from Ross leading off the fifth when he dove into
foul territory to field a grounder and then throw the Atlanta catcher out at
first. Braves third baseman Chipper Jones was out of the lineup for the second
consecutive game because of a bruised left calf and is day to day. He was hit by
Uptons hard one-hop liner in Friday nights game. “Hes walking around better,”
Gonzalez said. “Hopefully (hell play Monday) or maybe even Tuesday.” NOTES:

Jose Molina left after six innings as a precaution after taking a ball off the
mask. “He did get dinged a little bit there,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said. “He
came out and he was not 100 per cent right. I was not comfortable sending him
back out there.” ... Venters said his control problems stem from not finishing
his pitches. Mario Williams Blue Jersey . The Englishman
