The Braves' offense had twelve hits while scoring their nine runs. Freeman led the offense with three hits, including his second home run of the year, and drove in three runs. Reed Johnson had two hits and also drove in three runs, Evan Gattis had two hits and drove in a run and Andrelton Simmons had two hits. Justin Upton had a hit and an RBI, Dan Uggla and B.J. Upton both added a hit apiece for Atlanta.
Tim Hudson apparently wanted to add on to his 200 wins as he pitched seven and a third innings and gave up three runs on five hits. One of the hits was a home run to the Mets' David Wright, it was the third game in a row he has homered. Hudson also struck out seven Mets and is now 4-1 on the season. Luis Avilan recorded only one hit and gave up a run and then Cory Gearrin came in to face one hitter but hit him with a pitch. Eric O'Flaherty and Anthony Varvaro combined to get the final four outs and preserve the Braves' victory.
The Braves are now 18-12 on the year and will travel to Cincinnati to begin a three-game series with the Reds tomorrow night at 7:10 p.m. Paul Maholm (3-3) will get the start for Atlanta against the Reds' Bronson Arroyo (2-3). Also, Brian McCann will be activated from the disabled list and make his season debut on Monday night, Tyler Pastornicky will be sent to Triple-A Gwinnett to make room for McCann.
Freddie Freeman scores on a wild pitch, Freeman hit a home run and drove in three runs in the Braves' 9-4 victory over the New York Mets on Sunday.
