Charlie Morton In Search Of Bounce-Back Effort Tuesday
1 year agoAtlanta Braves pitcher Charlie Morton will be in search of improved results on Tuesday when he gets the ball for a road start against the Boston Red Sox. His previous outing wasn't a complete disaster but Morton did yield four earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out just four across 5 2/3 innings in a losing effort against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The outing snapped a stretch of six straight starts in which Morton yielded three earned runs or fewer while he had surrendered just a single earned run across his previous three starts. Nonetheless, he will carry a strong 3.36 ERA into Tuesday's start against a Red Sox offense that sits eighth with a .331 wOBA against right-handed pitching on the season.
