Tim Hudson started and earned a victory against the Athletics on Sunday afternoon, becoming the 15th pitcher to earn a W against all 30 teams, as MLB’s Stat of the Day Twitter account notes. Hudson allowed three runs on seven hits with no walks and one strikeout in five innings.
Hudson was drafted in the sixth round of the 1997 draft by the Athletics and pitched for them through 2004 after which he was traded to the Braves. He signed with the Giants as a free agent in November 2013.
Hudson had faced the Athletics on two previous occasions but didn’t earn the victory either time. He allowed five runs in five innings against them with the Braves on May 17, 2008 and allowed six runs in 5 1/3 innings against them with the Giants on July 10 last season.
The 40-year-old right-hander has a 4.80 ERA on the year with a 1.41 WHIP and a 53/26 K/BB ratio in 101 1/3 innings.
