Charlie Morton Continues Good Work With 10 Strikeouts
Charlie Morton (3-7) dominated the Los Angeles Angels on Friday, spinning five shutout innings in a 2-0 win. Morton scattered five hits and a walk while punching out 10 in this one. The 41-year-old veteran has been surprisingly decent after a brutal April, allowing more than two runs just once since May 7. He still has pretty disastrous numbers on the season, with a 6.05 ERA, 1.66 WHIP, and 67 strikeouts over 61 IP, but has at least managed to work himself back into the O's starting rotation with his solid work of late. In the right matchups, Morton could be used as a streamer, especially for those who are in need of strikeouts. He is in line to start against Tampa Bay on the road next Wednesday, which is one to avoid, even coming off this good effort.
