Hudson was out of the game after recording one out on 15 pitches against eight Washington Nationals batters, and the St. Louis Cardinals were on the receiving end of what they did to the Atlanta Braves in the last round. Tears welled up in the 25-year-old's eyes thinking back to that moment... -

Cardinals' Wainwright to face Braves in Game 3 of NLDS (10/05 5:36 pm)ST.
