In the season opener last night against the Washington Nationals at the new Nationals Park, the Braves lost 3-2 in the Ninth. Tim Hudson started the game struggling, allowing two runs in the First, before finding his rhythm and retiring 19 straight to end the Seventh. Chipper Jones hit the first ever home run at Nationals Park, which gave the Braves their only run until they tied it up in the Ninth with a passed ball on two outs, only to fall short as Ryan Zimmerman hit a walk-off homer to give the win to the Nationals off relief pitcher Peter Moylan. It is quite a shame such a solid performance by Tim Hudson did not end in a victory, but the Nationals were able to celebrate the opening of the new Nationals Park with a win. Tonight the Braves have their home season opener as they take on the Pirates with Tom Glavine leading the way on the mound.
