"It was a step in the right direction. I don't feel like I'm quite ready to go, but it was a positive step in the right direction," Hudson said in a news release. "I feel good where I'm at physically. It's more about executing pitches and figuring out a better way to get big league hitters out."
The G-Braves got all the runs they would need in the first, when Ernesto Mejia delivered a three-run double. It was win No. 10 of the season for Gwinnett, making them only the second team in the International League to reach double figures this season.
