Daniel Hudson inherited a first-and-third, one-out jam from Max Scherzer in a 0-0 game in the eighth inning on Wednesday night, and with help from a diving Trea Turner, he got a 6-4-3, inning-ending double play out of the Toronto Blue Jays’ Teoscar Hernández on a hard-hit grounder up the middle.
“It was kind of a weird at bat,” Hudson told reporters, after what ended up a 4-0 extra inning win.
“I got jumped ahead with two fastballs, and he didn’t really offer at any of them, so I didn’t know if he was kind of on time for it or not, so I didn’t want to throw him something to speed up his bat, so I just tried to stay hard with him and basically throw it down the middle and Trea made a great play.
