ATLANTA (AP) - The Atlanta Braves' offense broke out of its June slump in time to rescue a suddenly depleted starting rotation. Peter Moylan pitched three scoreless innings in relief of injured starter Tim Hudson, and the Braves ended a four-game losing streak with a 9-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday night.
Hudson left the game in the third inning after he was hit on his left leg by Jacque Jones' sharply hit grounder. The right-hander limped slightly as he walked off the field with a bruised leg. X-rays were negative.
Hudson's leg was swollen, but with the help of an extra off day this week, he said he doesn't expect to miss a start.
