[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1771369, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/hudson-arenado-end-frustrations-in-5-2-cardinals-win-over-san-diego/article_553cf961-8e6d-5452-9298-3f5b1ab4dfed.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/rhummel']Rick Hummel[/URL] Dakota Hudson had been waiting for the day he would still be pitching in the seventh inning for the Cardinals. He hadn’t made it past the fifth in his previous four starts. Nolan Arenado was waiting for the day he would hit something besides the occasional single. In five recent games, he hadn’t even had that, going nothing for 17. But Hudson, bailed out in the first inning by center fielder Harrison Bader’s diving catch that saved two runs, retired 18 men in a row before the San Diego Padres had two singles in the seventh inning. Hudson finished that seventh inning, allowing just four hits for the game and, more importantly walking only one. And he finished the seventh ahead because Arenado, the National League Player of the Month for April but certainly not for May, smacked his first homer in two weeks. Arenado’s two-run liner to left in the sixth following a single by Paul Goldschmidt, who almost certainly will be Player of the Month for May, and Arenado’s RBI single in a two-run eighth provided the difference in a 5-2 Cardinals victory Wednesday at Busch Stadium. “The first inning looked a little scary,” said Arenado. “But, almost in the blink of an eye, (Hudson) was going seven innings.” [/QUOTE]
