Atlanta ? Tim Hudson gave up a hit to the opposing pitcher, which was bad enough.

It stung even more when that turned out to be the only hit of the game by the Colorado Rockies.

Hudson threw the second one-hitter of his career, leading the Atlanta Braves past the Rockies, 2-0, with a dominating performance that was marred only by Jason Jennings’ single with two outs in the third inning.

“That’s kind of tough to take,” said Hudson, who also drove in the Braves’ first run. “He’s probably one of the better-hitting pitchers out there, but he’s still a pitcher. He’s only coming up once every five days. It would have been better if it was a cleanup hitter. I could have stomached that one better.”

Not that Hudson (2-2) was complaining too much. He retired the last 17 Colorado hitters, needing just 40 pitches after the fifth inning. He threw 103 pitches – 66 for strikes.

Reds 6, Cardinals 1

Cincinnati – Bronson Arroyo (5-0) stayed unbeaten in Cincinnati by pitching a four-hitter for the second complete game of his career.

Every Reds starter except Arroyo had a hit off left-hander Mark Mulder (2-1), who was denied his 100th career win.
