ATLANTA (AP) -- Tim Hudson survived five tough innings to win in
his return from offseason back surgery and the Atlanta Braves held
on in the ninth to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3 on Sunday.
Hudson (1-0) pitched in the majors for the first time since his
operation last November to repair a herniated disc. The
right-hander threw 96 pitches while giving up two runs on six hits
and two walks. He allowed at least one baserunner in every inning.
The Pirates stranded 10 runners, including eight against Hudson.
Craig Kimbrel gave up one run in the ninth before earning his
eighth save. Jose Tabata hit a one-out double, advanced to third on
Andrew McCutchen's groundout and scored on Kimbrel's wild pitch.
Kimbrel struck out Garrett Jones to end the game.
