Hudson battling poor batted-ball luck

CINCINNATI -- After giving up the game-winning run in the Pirates' 4-3 loss to the Reds on Monday night, Daniel Hudson walked into the clubhouse, got on the treadmill and started running. He stayed there for nearly an hour, frustrated with his own mistakes during a rough week.

The Pirates signed Hudson to a two-year, $11 million contract and installed him as their right-handed setup man between lefty Felipe Rivero and closer Tony Watson. A month into the season, Hudson has a 9.28 ERA and 2.06 WHIP. He's given up eight runs while recording five outs over his past three outings.
