KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Tim Hudson pitched two sharp innings and rookie Jason Heyward doubled and scored Wednesday as the Atlanta Braves beat the New York Mets 9-5.
Hudson missed most of the 2009 season after recovering from Tommy John surgery. The right-hander said he threw pain-free against Mets and went to the bullpen for more tossing after facing only six batters.
Braves rookie Jason Heyward doubled and scored. The 20-year-old outfielder, considered by many the best prospect in baseball, walked twice, singled and stole a base Tuesday against the Mets in their exhibition opener.
