Red-hot Hudson leads Braves vs. Pelfrey, Mets

Apr 20, 2007 - 3:01 PM Atlanta (10-5) at NY Mets (10-4) 7:10 pm EDT

FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) -- Tim Hudson is returning to form for the Atlanta Braves. Mike Pelfrey is looking for his first win.

Hudson will take on Pelfrey when the Braves visit the Mets in the opener of a three-game series on Friday.

One of the top hurlers in the American League in six seasons with Oakland, Hudson (2-0, 0.86 ERA) is finally looking like his old self since being traded to the Braves in December 2004. He went 13-12 with a 4.86 ERA last season.

The reigning National League Player of the Week, Hudson has allowed just two runs in 21 innings this campaign. He yielded just one run in seven innings in an 8-4 win over Florida last Sunday.

He will take on Pelfrey (0-0, 3.18), who allowed two runs and six hits in 5 2/3 innings in a 3-2 win over Washington last Friday - his season debut. It was his lone start since being recalled from Class A Port St. Lucie after winning the fifth starter job in spring training.

The Mets have won six of their last eight games, including three in a row - outscoring their opponents, 28-6. New York routed Florida, 11-3, on Thursday behind backup catcher Ramon Castro, who homered and drove in three runs.

The Braves suffered a 3-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Thursday.
