Charlie Morton Improves To .500 With Victory
4 months agoAtlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton improved his record to 6-6 with Thursday's victory against the division rival Miami Marlins. The 40-year-old earned his ninth quality start of the season by tossing six innings, in which he allowed one run (zero earned), two walks and six strikeouts. It was a very big bounce back for Morton, who got hit hard for seven runs (five earned) in his previous outing versus the New York Mets. Morton has been solid this season with a 3.94 ERA, but he has also been hit hard in some matchups. As it stands, Morton is best suited as a streamer moving forward. His next start will come at home against a good Milwaukee Brewers lineup on Wednesday.
