The Braves had three hits in the loss. Brian McCann had the biggest hit, a two-run homer in the fifth inning, it was his second of the year and in the past two days. Jordan Schafer and Justin Upton had the other two hits for the Braves, who just couldn't seem to get any rally going the whole game.
Hudson had a great night going as he was getting outs and moving right along in the game. All of the sudden, in the fourth inning, he lost it. He finished the game only pitching three and two-thirds innings while giving up six runs on eight hits. He struck out four batters and took the loss, he is now 4-2 on the year. David Carpenter appeared in his first game of the year and pitched two and a third innings, he gave up a two-run homer to the Giants' Angel Pagan. Cory Gearrin and Anthony Varvaro both pitched a perfect inning to finish off the Giants in the last two innings.
The Braves are now 21-14 on the year, they will continue their four-game stand with the Giants tomorrow at 4:05 p.m. Paul Maholm (4-3) will get the ball for the Braves and face Madison Bumgarner (3-1) of the Giants.
Brian McCann is congratulated by Dan Uggla after his two-run homer in the Braves' 8-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Friday night.
