Voices: Is Tim Hudson a Hall of Famer?

Hudson Wins #200, Celebrates With Hr

From Elias: Tim Hudson earned his 200th major-league victory, 8-1 over the Nationals, and accentuated the occasion with a home run (albeit one in-and-out of the glove of right fielder Bryce Harper). Hudson became the 110th pitcher in big-league history to amass 200 victories, but he became only the second of that group to hit a home run in the game in which he joined the 200-win club, or, subsequently, the 300-, 400- or (if you're Cy Young) 500-win circle. Back on Sept. 11, 1956, Cleveland's Bob Lemon downed the Orioles, 3-1, for his 200th win; he drove in two of his team's three runs with a second-inning homer.

Tim Hudson Records His 200th Win

Baseball Tonight Spotlight:Tim Hudson homered and struck out six over seven innings to lead the Braves to an 8-1 win over the Nationals.

Tim Hudson building Hall of Fame case

In Tim Hudson's major league debut, Tony Phillips was his second baseman, Olmedo Saenz played third base and Tim Raines played left field. Hudson doesn't seem like he's that old, but that was back in 1999 in a game at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, which means he has been doing this baseball thing for a bit of time now.

MLB - Hudson the hitter

Tim Hudson has a double and a HR vs the Nationals. He is the first Braves pitcher with a double and a HR in a game since Carl Morton in 1973.

Kimbrel Blows Hudson's Potential 200th Win

From Elias: Coors Field remained a house of horrors for Tim Hudson, who watched Craig Kimbrel blow a two-run lead in the ninth inning, costing Hudson his 200th career victory. The Rockies won the game, 6-5 in 12 innings. Hudson has an 0-2 career record with a 7.41 ERA in six starts at Coors Field. Last season, Kimbrel pitched in 63 games for Atlanta and became only the fifth pitcher in modern major-league history to make 60 or more appearances in one season and not be charged with more than one run in any of them.

Hudson Bests Strasburg On Mound And At Plate

Tim Hudson stroked two singles off Stephen Strasburg and earned the win in the Braves' 3-1 decision over the Nationals. Hudson's two hits against Strasburg are now the highest career total for any pitcher versus the Nationals' right-hander. (Several pitchers have one lifetime hit against Strasburg.)

MLB - Hudson 1 win shy of 200

Tim Hudson won his 199th career game today. He and Roy Halladay are just 1 win shy of joining the 200-win club.
