Hudson 'had to battle' for six strong innings in San Diego

Dakota Hudson reflects on Friday start (6 IP, 2 ER) in the St. Louis Cardinals' 4-2 loss to the San Diego Padres: "I kept a lot of balls on the ground and was able to keep them to singles. ... Just had to battle. I knew it was going to be a scrappy one. Just had to get after them." #STLCards

Dakota Ryan Hudson! Folks, the 29-year-old from Dunlap, Tennessee is a WARRIOR and I'm so GLAD our St. Louis Cardinals (the GREATEST team in the league regardless of "record") made a home for him. Can't wait for him to get fitted for a Fall Classic ring some day. #STLFLY
