Dakota Hudson, Cardinals blank Reds, 5-0

CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Reds went down to their 11th consecutive loss on Saturday and who more fitting to send them there than Dakota Hudson?

The Cardinals’ right-hander blanked the Reds on two hits for 6 2/3 innings as he beat them for the sixth time in six career decisions. Paul Goldschmidt, gradually emerging from an early-season slumber, doubled in two runs as the Cardinals whipped the Reds, 5-0, at Great American Ball Park.

Hudson, after disappointing outings in his first two starts this season, offered up free runners in each of the first four innings with three walks and a hit batsman. But he also forced former Cardinal Tommy Pham to ground into two double plays, catcher Andrew Kninzer threw out a runner trying to steal and center fielder Harrison Bader cut down a runner trying go first to third on a single.
