Hudson looks to lead Braves to fifth straight win

Apr 21, 2008 - 1:12 PM Washington (5-14) at Atlanta (9-9) 7:00 pm EDT

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- The Atlanta Braves may be without Chipper Jones, but Tim Hudson has been all they have needed to beat the Washington Nationals.

Hudson aims to continue his mastery of the Nationals in the opener of a two-game series on Monday.

Jones, who has four home runs in his last four games, left Sunday's 6-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers with a strained right quadriceps. It is unclear whether Jones will play.

What is clear is that Hudson (2-1, 3.38 ERA) loves facing the Nationals. The righthander is 6-1 with a 1.11 ERA in 10 games against Washington.

Hudson will look to bounce back from a rough outing and help the Braves to their fifth straight win. Hudson allowed four runs and six hits in three innings of a 6-5 loss to Florida on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the Nationals managed just five hits in 6-1 loss to to Florida on Sunday.

Matt Chico (0-3, 4.81) will try and help Washington snap three-game losing streak. The lefthander allowed five runs and seven hits in five innings of a 5-2 loss to New York on Wednesday.
