The Atlanta Braves may have won the game 8-2 but the victory was hollow after losing their starter pitcher Tim Hudson to a terrible accident. Eric Young Jr. of the New York Mets hit a grounder in the 8th inning. During the play, Hudson went to cover first base. Young accidentally stepped on Hudson and Hudson fell to the ground.
“I’m hustling down the line like I always do, going for the base,” Young said. “I saw his foot, as I’m going for the base, right there in the middle, as I came down, I knew I didn’t get any of the base. I know I got all of his foot. I pretty much knew it was probably broke right as I did it, and that’s why I sprinted right back to him and tried to console him as much as I could and apologize.”
