Angels Rough Up Former Nemesis Hudson In 9-0 Win
ANAHEIM (AP) -- Ervin Santana pitched a four-hitter for his sixth career shutout and the Los Angeles Angels welcomed former Oakland nemesis Tim Hudson back to the Big A for the first time in almost seven years with a six-run third inning that carried them to a 9-0 rout of the Atlanta Braves on Friday night.
In the first interleague game of the season for both teams, Santana (2-4) went the distance for the 10th time in 180 career starts. He struck out seven, and walked none for the first time in 10 starts this season.
The right-hander got offensive help from Mark Trumbo with a three-run homer and Alberto Callaspo with three RBIs.
