Our man Tim Hudson had it almost in the barn just waiting for the Atlanta Bull Pen to do the mop up work and Atlanta Bull Pen unfortunately coughs up two runs in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game at 5-5. Hard luck late late in the game for Hudson but Huddy will get that 200th win someday.
Braves should have had that one for Huddy. You never see Kimbrel giving up two runs in the 9th inning. Most days two runners don't even reach base off Kimbrel but Colorado started the rally with one out and Hudson hopes for 200 wins were dashed. I bet Hudson is still shaking his head behind the scenes to some degree but publicly being a seasoned professional most likely hudson took Kimbrel aside after the game and gave him a big "It will be alright. Go get em next time." If Atlanta had gotten that insurance run with Schafer on third with no outs instead and being picked off on a squeeze play in the top of the ninth Hudson might be in the history books tonight. But as with some days in MLB it just did not shake out that way.
