Braves 7, Nationals 3

Recap: Tim Hudson got it done on the mound and at the plate shaking off a baffling start against the Marlins a week prior and holding the Nationals to only on earned run in six and two thirds innings in the Braves 7-3 victory. Hudson was able to return to his regular velocity around 91-92 mph after being unable to pass 85 in his last start. Hudson blamed his poor velocity on the after-affects of a flu bug, but Braves fans everywhere must have been relieved to not see another starter have to make his way to the disabled list.
