Hudson's solid start results in painful loss

SAN FRANCISCO -- Tim Hudson assumed the role of hard-luck loser again Wednesday, as he threw seven sharp innings in a 5-2 loss against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

While the Giants were swept for just the second time all year, it was through no fault of Hudson's. Aside from his stellar pitching performance, the veteran right-hander even connected for a double and scored his team's first run.

"I felt like I gave us a pretty good chance to win," Hudson said. "Runs were going to be hard to come by. It wasn't a fun day out there for me, by any means.
