Philadelphia (8-9) at Atlanta (9-8), 7:05 pm EDT
ATLANTA (Ticker) -- Tim Hudson seeks to continue his sizzling
start in the National League as the Atlanta Braves host the
Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday at Turner Field.
Hudson (1-0, 0.82 ERA) makes his fourth start as a Brave after
five stellar years in Oakland. He allowed just four hits in
nine scoreless innings Monday against Houston but did not factor
into the decision as the Braves won, 1-0, in 12 innings.
Hudson has yielded only two runs and 16 hits in 22 innings this
season.
Randy Wolf (1-1, 4.95) starts for the Phillies. The lefthander
pitched eight scoreless innings against the New York Mets in his
last start before yielding three runs in the ninth as the
Phillies held on for a 5-4 win. Wolf is 4-8 with a 4.29 ERA in
18 career games against Atlanta.
The Braves posted a 6-2 triumph over the Phillies on Friday
night as Mike Hampton allowed two runs in 8 2/3 innings,
improving to 13-1 in his last 18 regular-season starts. Marcus
Giles and Adam LaRoche each belted two-run homers in the win.
The squads have split four games this season and play 14 more
times after Saturday.
