Braves 5, Giants 2
SAN FRANCISCO — Tim Hudson outdueled Tim Lincecum and came within one out of his first complete game this season, leadoff man Martin Prado drove in the Braves' first three runs and Atlanta clinched just its third series win. Hudson followed Tommy Hanson's strong start with an efficient 112-pitch outing. Lincecum gave up five runs and six hits in 61/3 innings after he carried a no-hit bid into the eighth Monday at Colorado.
