Veteran starter Tim Hudson had his worst outing of the season Sunday, lasting just 3 2/3 innings in the Giants' 11-2 loss to the Rockies.
Hudson was hit hard early and often, allowing a season-high eight earned runs on six hits, including seven of the eight runs Colorado scored in the decisive fourth inning.
"Today was a tough day, especially for me," Hudson said to CSN Bay Area. "I just put us in a pretty bad spot. It's a long day yesterday and a lot of innings for the 'pen. I would've liked to go further in this game. I just wasn't very good today. They capitalized on some mistake pitches on my part. I just didn't feel good. It's hard to say ... I just didn't have real good stuff. The results of the game probably are very indicative of that."
Hudson saw his ERA rocket to 5.04 after the rough start as he fell to 2-4 on the season.
