SAN FRANCISCO -- After a broken right ankle with Atlanta last year threatened to end his career, Tim Hudson has emerged as one of baseballs best and most surprising off-season additions. Hudson turned in another vintage performance to start this season, tossing seven innings to lead the San Francisco Giants past the Chicago Cubs 4-0 on Tuesday night. "I couldnt have asked for a better start to my season with a new team, new organization, new teammates," said Hudson, who signed a $23 million, two-year contract with the Giants in November. "I hope they dont think Im going to be this good all year." Hudson (5-2) allowed six hits, struck out five and walked none. The 38-year-old has allowed two earned runs or fewer in nine of his 10 starts, and he has pitched at least seven innings eight times. "Hes getting better with age," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Buster Posey drove in two runs, and Michael Morse and Pablo Sandoval singled home a run each to help the Giants (33-19) hold on to the best record in the majors. Jeremy Affeldt pitched a perfect eighth and Jean Machi pitched a perfect ninth to close out the Cubs, who will try again to win their first road series since last September in Wednesdays finale. Jake Arrieta (1-1) gave up four runs and seven hits in six innings. He struck out six and walked one but got no support with Hudson on the mound. "Hes a buzz saw," Arrieta said. San Franciscos most reliable starter also might be its most unlikely. In a rotation that includes All-Stars Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner and two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum, Hudson has a 1.92 ERA. San Francisco is 5-0 in Hudsons home starts and 7-2 overall. That includes a rain-suspended game in his last start at Colorado, when he allowed one run in three innings coming off a hip injury. Hudson joked that he tricks hitters with "smoke and mirrors" now before admitting that hes just learned to be a better pitcher at this point in his career. He said hes relying more on scouting reports, location and pitching to contact than trying to overpower hitters. "From a command standpoint, this is probably the best Ive been," Hudson said. The three-time All-Star, who turns 39 in July, showed no signs of rust when he returned to the mound at pitcher-friendly AT&T Park. Hudson retired the first eight batters until Arrieta grounded a single up the middle. He allowed two baseunners in the third and a one-out double to Mike Olt off the centre-field wall in the fifth but quickly induced two outs each time. "It was all Hudson. He did a great job," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. Hudson left to a standing ovation from the announced sellout crowd of 41,060 after getting pinch-hitter Chris Coghlan to ground out with a runner on first to end the seventh. San Francisco supplied all the runs Hudson needed in the first, when Angel Pagan singled and scored on Poseys sacrifice fly and Morse hit an RBI single. Posey hit another sacrifice fly to left with the bases loaded in the fifth before Sandovals bloop single extended San Franciscos lead to 4-0. Hudson handled the Cubs the rest of the way. "Hes had quite a career to this point," Bochy said. "Hes got a lot of baseball left." NOTES: Cain, who missed his last start with a strained right hamstring, will throw a bullpen session Wednesday and is expected to make his next start Saturday at St. Louis. ... Cubs reliever Wesley Wright was placed on the paternity leave list before the game, and Blake Parker was promoted from Triple-A Iowa. Parker allowed one hit in one inning of relief. ...

But the young forward is more than willing to shed a little blood if thats what it takes to make the team this season. "It caught me pretty good, dazed me for that shift, but I didnt want to be off the ice for too long," he said after practice, his lip still bleeding a little despite the plastic stitches holding it together.Each week, TSN.ca takes a look at the top available players in fantasy football ahead of the weekly waiver deadline. Quarterbacks Colt McCoy, Washington Redskins (vs St. Louis) Last Week: 31/47, 392 yards, 3 TDs, 4 fumbles Wow; another good start for McCoy. There are causes for concern – notably his four fumbles – but McCoy’s last two games came against decent defences so if you’re still alive in your league and you need a QB – maybe you drafted RG3, McCoy may be worth riding while he’s hot. If McCoy can put up big numbers against a tough Rams defence next week, he should earn your trust for playoff time. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Houston Texans (at Jacksonville) Last Week: 24/33, 358 yards, 6 TDs The Texans had to go back to Fitzpatrick after Ryan Mallett’s audition ended early and he rewarded them with his best performance of his career. Don’t expect that to last however, as Fitzpatrick started fast at the start of the year too before fading and eventually getting bench. And because he’s Ryan Fitzpatrick. That said, he has two matchups with Jacksonville still on the schedule so if you’re desperate heading into in the playoffs, you could do worse. Shaun Hill’s big performance in Week 13 deserves a mention, but he doesn’t have the Raiders again on his remaining schedule so is likely not worth taking a shot on. Running Backs Jonathan Stewart, Carolina Panthers (at New Orleans) Last Week: 12 carries, 85 yards; 2 receptions, 25 yards Panthers coaches appear to be the last to recognize DeAngelo Williams is out of gas, but a broken hand may do it for them. If Williams can’t go because of his hand injury, Stewart should get a decent workload and put up solid RB2 numbers. But if Williams is active the Panthers backfield remains a time share to avoid. Daniel Herron, Indianapolis Colts (at Cleveland) Last Week: 8 carries, 88 yards, 1 TD Any running back currently in a time share with Trent Richardson deserves to be owned. He’ll score more points in the meantime and should eventually earn close to a full workload after proving how much better an option he is. Daniel Herron is that guy in Indy right now and he’s coming off his second straight promising week.dddddddddddd Doug Martin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (at Detroit) Last Week: 18 carries, 58 yards, 1 TD Martin has returned atop the Bucs’ depth chart at running back and while he’s a shadow of his 2012 self, he’s still capable of putting up half decent numbers. He’s still nothing special, but even against the Lions next week should be good for 60+ yards if Tampa doesn’t mess with the RB order too much. If you’re starting Martin you’re going to have to luck into a touchdown to make it worth it. Wide Receivers Donte Moncrief, Indianapolis Colts (at Cleveland) Last Week: 3 receptions (4 targets), 134 yards, 2 TDs Moncrief made this list a number of weeks ago and deserves to return after another breakout week. That he’s a borderline own has nothing to do with his talent – he’s shown already that he’s a legit talent – but rather (still) his involvement in the passing game. Moncreif is seeing more time than Hakeem Nicks as the Colts’ third receiver, but still not getting enough snaps to put up consistent fantasy weeks. Marqise Lee, Jacksonville Jaguars (vs Houston) Last Week: 6 receptions (8 targets), 75 yards, 1 TD The past two weeks Lee has been the leading receiver of a team known for their late game garbage yards. That’s a player that’s worth owning in most leagues. The second-round pick is loaded with potential too, and should only add to his first career touchdown catch gained last week. Steadman Bailey was on his way to a monster fantasy week before the Rams took their foot off the gas against a brutal Raiders team. Like Hill, Bailey likely won’t reach those heights again against the non-Raiders teams still left on St. Louis’ schedule. Tight Ends Jordan Reed, Washington Redskins (vs St. Louis) Last Week: 9 receptions (11 targets), 123 yards Reed had become a bit of a forgotten man in Washington, in part because of injury, but he’s back on the fantasy radar after his big Week 13. There is hope his performance can be sustainable because he’s as healthy as he’s been in some time and McCoy, likely the Redskins’ starter the rest of the year, likes utilizing the tight end. ' ' '
