Diamondbacks' Daniel Hudson: Struggles in short Wednesday outing

Hudson gave up four hits and four runs (two earned) while retiring just one batter in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.

Analysis:

Hudson has hit a rough patch of late. He's allowed runs in three of his last four outings, giving up a total of eight earned runs in 1.2 innings. Hudson's ERA has climbed from 1.55 to 3.82 in the process. Despite the struggles, Hudson still figures to continue serving as the setup man to Brad Ziegler, and he should be a decent source of holds and strikeouts going forward.
