Chicago Cubs vs. San FRancisco Giants WATCH FREE: Live Streaming Online MLB from A T & T Park at 10:15 PM ET

Tim Hudson, the Giants righthander, hopes to continue his success while trying to help the Giants avoid a fifth consecutive home defeat to the Cubs on Tuesday night.

Since allowing a season-high four runs in 7 1/3 innings of a 5-4, 10-inning home victory over Colorado on April 13, Hudson (4-2, 2.13 ERA) is 2-2 with a 2.01 ERA in six outings. He allowed a run and five hits and was removed following an 82-minute rain delay before the start of the fourth inning Thursday at Colorado. The game was suspended in the sixth with the score tied at 2.

Hudson, who turns 39 in July, went 2-0 despite a 4.70 ERA in his first four starts against the Cubs (19-30), but has yielded a run in each of the last three versus Chicago for a 1.33 ERA while going 1-1 during that span for Atlanta.

The former Oakland pitcher is 3-0 with a 2.61 ERA in four starts at home in his return to northern California pitching for the Bay Area's other team.

However, Chicago has held the Giants (32-19) to seven runs during a four-game winning streak at AT&T Park -- it's longest current run of success on the road against any opponent. Jeff Samardzija, who entered Monday's meeting with a major-league best 1.46 ERA, allowed four runs in seven innings but earned his first victory in 17 starts during the 8-4 victory that snapped San Francisco's season-high four-game home winning streak.

"There were big contributions by everybody in the ballgame," manager Rick Renteria told the Cubs' official website.
