Braves win game but loose Hudson

A somber mood filled the visitors’ clubhouse at Citi Field late Wednesday night. Instead of celebrating a win that extended their comfortable lead atop the National League East standings to eight games, the Atlanta Braves were subdued by the horrific injury that ended Tim Hudson’s masterpiece and season. By the time the Braves completed their 8-2 win over the New York Mets, the home runs hit by Evan Gattis, Dan Uggla and Andrelton Simmons were afterthoughts. This was a night that will be remembered as the one in which Hudson was carted off the field in the eighth inning with a fractured right ankle. The Atlanta Braves are now 57-44 on the season.  Catch all the exciting action of Atlanta Braves baseball here on WSNW.
