Tim Hudson gave the Braves eight scoreless innings, beating the Mets 4-0. "It's one of those things where you have to step up and do whatever it takes to help the team out," Hudson said. Hudson (5-3) improved to 80-4 in 104 career starts when his team has scored at least four runs, but he was protecting a 1-0 lead before the Braves scored three runs off Glavine in the seventh inning. "I was pitching as if that one run was all I was going to get," Hudson said. "To be honest, after getting that second run I felt better."
