PHOENIX — Paul Goldschmidt hit three doubles, Eric Chavez drove in three runs and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat Tim Hudson and the Atlanta Braves 5-3 on Wednesday.
Cody Ross added an RBI double as the Diamondbacks won the final two games of the series after a 10-1 loss in the opener.
Hudson (4-3) had been 7-0 in nine career starts against Arizona before he got tagged. He allowed five runs and eight hits in five innings — he's given up 11 runs over 8 2/3 innings in his last two starts.
Ian Kennedy (2-3) yielded three runs and five hits in five innings. He struck out seven and walked three.
Heath Bell pitched the ninth for his sixth save in eight chances.
Freddie Freeman doubled twice and singled for the Braves.
With the Diamondbacks trailing 3-1 and one out in the fifth, Jason Kubel pinch-hit for Kennedy and walked. Gerardo Parra reached on an infield hit and Didi Gregorius followed with an RBI single.
Hudson struck out Goldschmidt looking, but Chavez and Ross hit consecutive doubles to give the Diamondbacks a 5-3 lead.
The Braves put runners on first and second against David Hernandez in the eighth but Jordan Schafer flied out and Goldschmidt fielded a hard shot by Andrelton Simmons to first base to end the inning.
After cruising through the first two innings, Kennedy was undone partially by a botched defensive play in the third.
Schafer reached on a two-out infield single and Simmons followed with a line drive toward third base. Chavez jumped, but the ball bounced off the palm of his glove and fell to the ground as Simmons sprinted to the bag for an infield single.
Kennedy then walked Justin Upton on five pitches to load the bases, then walked Freeman on four pitches to score Schafer for a 1-0 lead.
Freeman hit a two-run double in the fifth that put Atlanta ahead 3-1.
Arizona took a 1-0 lead in the first when Goldschmidt doubled and Chavez singled.
