SAN FRANCISCO -- Tim Hudson has spent most of the season leading the San Francisco Giants to victories. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Jersey . This time, his teammates backed him up on a rare off night. Michael Morse hit an RBI single
with one out in the ninth inning after Hunter Pences tying double, and the
Giants rallied to beat the New York Mets 5-4 Saturday night to extend baseballs
best record. "It just tells you what kind of team we have," said Morse, who
helped teammates tear off his jersey during a wild celebration on the infield.
"We find a way." Angel Pagan had three singles, two RBIs and got on base all
five times against his former team. He reached leading off the ninth when
catcher Anthony Recker dropped the third strike and his throw pulled Lucas Duda
off first base. Mets manager Terry Collins challenged the play but lost. Pence
hit a double that scored Pagan and advanced to third on Buster Poseys deep fly
to left-centre. After Jenrry Mejia (1-2) intentionally walked Pablo Sandoval,
Morse sent a single to deep right and was mobbed by teammates before he reached
second. San Francisco improved to 6-0 at home when Hudson starts. "Im as proud
of this game as I have been of any of them," said Hudson, who allowed season
highs of nine hits and three walks in five innings. "Even though it was probably
my worst game from a pitching standpoint, these kinds of games are very
satisfying because these are the games that most of the time your teams lose
when your starting pitcher goes out there and doesnt really have his stuff. We
were able to battle and win. Thats the mark of a championship club." It was
Mejias first blown save in seven chances. The Mets have lost five straight.
Jeremy Affeldt (2-1) tossed one scoreless inning to help the Giants (41-21) win
for the ninth time in 11 games. Bartolo Colon gave up three runs -- one earned
-- and eight hits in 5 2-3 innings for the Mets. The 41-year-old, who spent the
past two seasons across the bay in Oakland, struck out four and walked two.
Hudson, who began the game with a majors-best 1.75 ERA, is the first pitcher in
San Francisco history with an ERA below 2.00 through his first 12 starts with
the team. Even with the tough outing, Hudsons ERA is 1.97. The Mets grabbed
leads of 3-0 and 4-1, but stranded 12 runners on base. "We did a good job of
limiting the damage," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. The Mets ended Hudsons
scoreless streak at 16 consecutive innings in the second, when Duda doubled and
scored on Reckers single. In the third, Duda broke his bat hitting an RBI single
off the wall in right and Recker drove in another run to give the Mets a 3-0
lead. The Mets might have had more if not for a baserunning blunder.
Ruben Tejada was tagged out between second and third after Duda stopped at third
and Recker ran to second. With the bases loaded and no outs in the fifth, Posey
grounded into a double play to score San Franciscos first run. Colon then got
Sandoval to fly out. New York extended its lead to 4-1 on a wild pitch by
George Kontos in the sixth, but couldnt overcome an error by third baseman
David Wright in the bottom of the inning. Wright fielded a grounder and misfired
to second trying to get the lead runner with two outs. Pagan followed with a
two-run single to bring the Giants within 4-3 and chase Colon. Pences single
loaded the bases for Posey again, but Jeurys Familia struck out Posey on a
sinking fastball clocked at 96 mph. NOTES: Giants reliever Santiago Casilla, who
is on the disabled list with a strained right hamstring, threw 30 pitches in the
bullpen. He is scheduled to throw again before Mondays game and could begin a
rehab assignment as soon as Wednesday. ... The Mets optioned C Travis dArnaud to
