Pittsburgh (40-48) at Atlanta (47-42) 7:35 pm EDT


ATLANTA (Ticker) -- Tim Hudson gets the start as the AtlantaBraves look to keep rolling when they face the PittsburghPirates on Friday in the opener of a three-game series.

The Braves, who had All-Star John Smoltz moved to the disabledlist with right shoulder inflammation on July 3, have won fourtheir last five games entering the break.


Hudson (8-5, 3.54 ERA) has not lost in his previous threestarts. The 31-year-old righthander has posted a 2-0 recordwith a 4.24 ERA and 17 strikeouts in that span.


Hudson did not receive a decision in Atlanta's 8-6 win over theLos Angeles Dodgers on July 5 after surrendering six runs and 10hits over just three innings.


Braves center fielder Andruw Jones, who had a miserable firstthree months, is showing signs of snapping out of his lengthyslump. The nine-time Gold Glove winner has gone 7-for-18 withtwo home runs and seven RBI in his previous five games.

The Pirates will turn to Ian Snell (7-5, 2.93), who has lostjust once in his last six outings.
