Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - David Ross and Freddie Freeman hit solo homers
to back a solid outing from Tim Hudson, as the Atlanta Braves held off the San
Francisco Giants, 3-2, to avoid a three-game sweep.
Hudson (8-4) gave up two runs on eight hits over 7 1/3 innings for the Braves,
who went 4-2 on a six-game homestand. The veteran right-hander, who struck out
three and walked two, improved to 7-4 in 16 career starts against the Giants.
Emmanuel Burriss and Buster Posey had an RBI apiece for San Francisco, which
was trying to sweep Atlanta on the road for the first time since June 27-29
1988.
Madison Bumgarner (11-6) allowed three runs -- two earned -- on three hits
over seven innings to take the hard-luck loss for the Giants, who had a five-
game winning streak snapped. Bumgarner had eight strikeouts.
