SAN DIEGO - Tim Hudson soon may need a new nickname — "Tough Luck" Tim. In his last three starts, the Atlanta Braves right-hander is 0-2 with a 1.66 ERA. In his last seven starts Hudson is 0-5, the second longest losing streak in his career. Hudson (4-6) pitched well again Tuesday night, going 7 1-3 innings and allowing three runs on five hits, but was outdueled by Andrew Cashner and lost to the Padres, 3-2, for the first time after going 6-0 in 13 previous appearances and 12 starts against San Diego. "I felt good," said Hudson, who struck out seven and walked one. "It was probably one of my top two or three games, stuff wise. I made a couple of bad pitches and somehow gave up three runs. They took advantage of them." Cashner (5-3) pitched a career high eight innings, allowing two runs on six hits, striking out five and walking one. It marked the seventh straight time that he has pitched six-plus innings. At one point Cashner retired 10 straight batters after giving up one run and three hits in the first inning. Luke Gregerson came on in the ninth and got the final out, striking out Dan Uggla for his third save in five opportunities. The Padres have won five of seven, while the Braves have lost four of six. Hudson said he made a good pitch to Nick Hundley in the second, but the Padres catcher muscled a bloop double down the left field line that scored Kyle Blanks, who had walked, to give the Padres a 2-1 lead. One pitch he would like back was a hanging splitter that Chase Headley hit for a home run in the bottom of the first tying the game at 1-1. The Braves had taken a 1-0 lead on Andrelton Simmons leadoff single, a wild pitch and Freddie Freemans RBI single. Carlos Quentin produced the third Padres run in the third with an RBI single to left that scored Everth Cabrera, who had doubled to right leading off the inning. The Braves closed within a run in the sixth when Jason Heyward and Justin Upton hit back-to-back singles to open the inning. Freeman then hit into a double play with Heyward scoring. "Cashner throws 95, 96 and has a changeup that he can throw whenever he wants," Freeman said. "We got him there on the ropes in the sixth, but I grounded into double play and killed a rally. You have to take advantage of that and I didnt do it." NOTES: The Padres placed OF Cameron Maybin on the 15-day disabled list. Maybin had an MRI on Tuesday that revealed a posterior cruciate ligament tear in his right knee, which he injured Sunday in Colorado. He is expected to be out six to 10 weeks. ...

Padres manager Bud Black said the Street would pitch an inning and around 15 pitches. ...

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Monica Puig isnt the first Puerto Rican womens tennis player to win a gold medal at the Olympics. Shes just the first to win one for Puerto Rico.And Gigi Fernandez was thrilled to see it happen.Fernandez, a Puerto Rican who won Olympic gold in doubles in 1992 and 1996 but did so while representing the United States, has dealt with plenty of social-media criticism in recent days as the wounds caused by her decision from a generation ago were reopened, in part from her own Twitter commentary. But after watching Puigs historic win on television from her Connecticut home on Saturday, Fernandez said her only regret was not being in Rio de Janeiro to watch it live.Nothing about Monica winning has bothered me at all, Fernandez, a 17-time Grand Slam doubles winner who now coaches and is a mom to 7-year-old twins, said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. What bothered me was some of the things people were saying to me. For some reason people thought I wouldnt be happy for her. Im wildly ecstatic. I cannot believe how well she played.Puig, who was unseeded, knocked off second-seeded Angelique Kerber of Germany 6-4, 4-6, 6-1. Afterward, Puig wrapped herself in a Puerto Rican flag and wiped away plenty of joyous tears.After Puigs win, there was a note awaiting her from Fernandez as well.I know her and she wrote to me, congratulating me, so thats very nice, Puig said. She played in the doubles, and I know that she won the gold medal. ... For me, its inspiring, really.Her win instantly became big news in Puerto Rico, where fans flocked into restaurants and bars to watch her final match on television.Best sport moment I have ever witnessed, former major league baseball player Alex Cora said after watching Puigs win in Puerto Rico.Yet not all the reaction was joyful, especially what was directed toward Fernandez. Tweets sent her way ranged from a handful of those coming to her defense to some being downright profane.For her part, Fernandez didnt often engage back.Im trying not to fuel the fire and let Monica have her stage, Fernandez said.ddddddddddddut during the opening ceremony of the Rio Games, Fernandez started this new round of old debate with a tweet .Puerto Ricos flagbearer for the opening was Jaime Espinal, a wrestler born in the Dominican Republic. Fernandez tweeted a photo of the Puerto Rican team walking into Maracana Stadium with words in Spanish that translated to asking if Espinal is Dominican or Puerto Rican.Double standard, she wrote.That opened the floodgates, re-opening the issue that started when she decided to play doubles for the U.S. at the 1992 Barcelona Games and four years later in Atlanta. Its a decision that Fernandez insists wasnt easy, but was made simply because she wasnt even sure Puerto Rico could qualify for doubles -- her specialty -- and get into those Olympics. So when a chance to play for the U.S. and partner with Mary Joe Fernandez came, Gigi Fernandez felt she was making the smartest move.If I was destined to win a medal, it would have been in doubles and Puerto Rico did not have another player that I could have played with, she said. I struggled with the decision. But now its behind us.She was the first Puerto Rican professional athlete, part of a group -- Mary Joe Fernandez and Gabriela Sabatini also included -- that, as Puig said Saturday night, all played a role in inspiring her to pick up the game.Puig knocked off the worlds second-ranked player in Kerber in the final, and also beat No. 4 Garbine Muguruza earlier in the tournament.I cannot believe how well she played, Fernandez said. To take out two of the top five players and win gold is just remarkable. I dont know what possessed her -- but she needs to carry it for the rest of her life.And when Puig goes back to Puerto Rico, Fernandez knows what awaits.A heroes welcome, probably a parade and they might rename the capital of Puerto Rico to Monica, Fernandez said. She definitely deserves everything shes going to get. ' ' '
