St. LOUIS — The Dakota Hudson who emerged Saturday from a brief reboot in the minors, where he could hear the tick-tock of a clock to accelerate his pace, is exactly the Dakota Hudson who the Cardinals could find a role for in October.
In town for a one-game engagement, Hudson authored a career-high eight innings and drove the Cardinals to a peppy, crisp 5-1 victory Saturday afternoon at Busch Stadium in Game 1 of a doubleheader against Cincinnati.
He will be back like he worked — quickly.
