SAN FRANCISCO — It’s usually a good thing when a Giants starter joins Gaylord Perry in the record books. Not on this night.
Tim Hudson became the first Giants pitcher to allow 15 hits in a game since Perry gave up 16 to the Reds on Sept. 28, 1968. The Giants, naturally, lost.
The Marlins knocked Hudson all over the yard in a 7-2 win in the series opener and Dan Haren had little trouble in his seven innings. After three consecutive shutouts, the Giants have dropped two straight, allowing 16 runs.
Hudson gave up two hits in the first inning and four in the second, with Haren’s two-run double to the right-center field gap putting the Marlins ahead.
