Two things: Kevin Correia faced off against Jake Peavy and held his own in his first start of the season, allowing two runs in five innings; and, Luke Hudson flat-out sucks!
Correia did not figure into the decision, but the Giants did win the game by breaking an eighth-inning tie to top the Friars and Peavy in that start, so I like the confidence he should have right now.
And, Hudson was hit hard for the second straight start last Friday, as the Astros touched him up for six runs in two innings. And that came just one start after not making it through the third inning after yielding seven runs to the Tribe. His ERA is above 10, and over 12 on the road.
