Atlanta Braves right-hander Tim Hudson helped himself on Tuesday night, hitting a home run in his 200th career victory.

"It was a fun game," Hudson said. "Obviously, it's kind of surreal. No one expects to hit a home run."

The homer was the third of Hudson's career and first since June 20, 2011 against Toronto.

Cleveland's Bob Lemon is the only other pitcher to hit a homer in his 200th win. Lemon's milestone came on Sept. 11, 1956.

Hudson, 37, became the third active pitcher with 200 wins, joining Andy Pettitte (248) and Roy Halladay (201).
