    For the first four innings, Tim Hudson wondered if Jeff Samardzija would be too tough to beat.

    Luckily for Hudson, the hard-throwing Samardzija began having control problems, and the Atlanta Braves took advantage of the situation.

    "You know you're not going to get much against a pitcher like Samardzija," Hudson said. "He was throwing some cheese in there."

    Hudson pitched six-plus strong innings and added an RBI, and Ramiro Pena hit a two-run single to help the Braves beat the Chicago Cubs 5-1 on Sunday.
