Hudson, Braves host struggling Giants

Aug 15, 2007 - 2:11 PM San Francisco (50-69) at Atlanta (63-56) 7:35 pm EDT

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- Tim Hudson looks to extend his unbeaten streak Wednesday when the Atlanta Braves host the San Francisco Giants.

Hudson (13-5, 3.01 ERA) has won his last seven decisions, and Atlanta has won the righthander's last 10 starts.

The 32-year-old Hudson, who has a 2.26 ERA in his last nine starts, beat the New York Mets on Thursday, allowing three runs in six innings of a 9-3 victory.

The Braves won Tuesday's series opener, 5-4, as Chipper Jones hit a walk-off double in the ninth inning to cap a late rally.

Mark Teixeira homered for Atlanta, which trails the New York Mets (66-52) by 3 1/2 games in the National League East.

Meanwhile, Russ Ortiz (2-2, 5.18) takes the mound for San Francisco, which has lost six of its last seven games. Ortiz is making his second start since coming off the disabled list.

The righthanded Ortiz allowed two runs in five innings of an 8-7 loss to Pittsburgh on Friday.

Barry Bonds, who walked twice and scored twice Tuesday, is batting .435 (10-for-23) with four career homers against Hudson.
