Arenado, Hudson Power Cardinals to Huge Sweep of Padres

Nolan Arenado broke out of his slump in a major way, Paul Goldschmidt extended his hitting streak to 23 games, and Dakota Hudson set down 18 straight Padres at one point all on the way to a huge three-game sweep.

Arenado, who saw his batting average drop more than 40 points during the Month of May, started June out much better with three hits and three RBI. Hudson had his best start of the season (one of the best of his career, in my opinion), going seven strong innings while only allowing one run and one walk.

With the bullpen stretched a little thin, the combo of Kodi Whitley and Nick Wittgren put a little scare into us in the ninth, but Robinson Cano’s potential go-ahead grand slam died just short of the wall.
