Juan Yepez returned to a good one that had gotten him to the majors. Working with more alacrity in his previous two starts, Cardinals right-hander Hudson had allowed just two runs and six hits over 14 innings. “It sure beats pitching slow and bad,” Hudson had said. In one sense, Hudson was efficient Sunday in that he traversed seven innings with just 95 pitches. But only 56 of those were strikes, and not many of them came in the fourth inning, when Hudson walked two, hit one and coughed up an early 3-0 lead against the Reds. Cincinnati, after catching the Cardinals, then scored four of the next five runs before hanging on to win 7-6 at Busch Stadium as early-season sensation Yepez continued his rebound with three hits, including a two-run homer in the ninth. Hudson was headed for a Cardinals record by throwing four double play balls in the first four innings. That was one short of the nine-inning club record for ground-ball double plays induced, most recently accomplished by Steve Mura in 1982. Left-hander Danny Jackson was the last Cardinal to throw four double plays in the first four innings in 1995. But Hudson didn’t make it to five and wound up allowing six runs after he had entered the game with a 2.23 earned run average at Busch III, second only to John Lackey (2.08). Hudson’s 15-3 won-lost mark had been the best there. [/QUOTE]
