Kansas City's Alcides Escobar doubled on Hudson's first offering and came around to score on a pair of groundouts that helped the Royals beat the Giants 3-2 in Game 3 of the Series on Friday night. Hudson settled down after that, retiring 12 straight batters at one point, before running into trouble again in the sixth inning when Kansas City added two more runs that ultimately proved to be the difference. The Giants now trail 2-1 in the Series with Game 4 on Saturday night. At 39 years, 102 days, Hudson became the second-oldest starting pitcher to make his World Series debut behind Philadelphia's Jamie Moyer, according to STATS. Moyer was 45 years, 342 days when he started the third game against Tampa Bay in 2008. Hudson came close plenty as his teams made the postseason seven times before this year only to bow out in the division series each time. His teammates, many of whom have won it all previously in their careers, expressed great happiness in getting Hudson to baseball's biggest stage. Unfortunately for Hudson, they offered him little help once he got there, failing to score off Jeremy Guthrie until after Hudson left the game. Hudson put the Giants in a hole right from the start when Escobar hit a drive off the base of the left-field wall. He moved to third on Alex Gordon's groundout and scored when Lorenzo Cain hit a grounder to shortstop with the infield back. Hudson allowed the first two batters to reach in the second before left fielder Travis Ishikawa made an awkward, diving catch to rob Salvador Perez of a hit and Jarrod Dyson followed with an inning-ending double play. That started a run of 12 straight batters retired by Hudson that ended when Escobar singled with one out in the sixth. Gordon followed with an RBI double that made it 2-0 and Hudson left after getting Cain to groundout. He waved to an appreciative crowd as he walked off the field in what might be his only chance to pitch this Series. He wouldn't be scheduled to start again until a possible Game 7. The Royals added another run when Eric Hosmer singled off reliever Javier Lopez for the first run-scoring hit by a lefty against Lopez in the postseason since he joined the Giants in 2010.
