Charlie Morton Dominates Former Team Friday Night
6 months agoAtlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton (5-4) dominated his former team Friday night allowing no runs in 6 1/3 innings with seven strikeouts on three hits and no walks in a 6-1 game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. After a tough May where the 40-year-old right-hander produced an ugly 5.04 ERA, he reversed course in June by putting up a 3.10 ERA. Although the stats are a little misleading as Morton went 2-0 with one run allowed in 18 1/3 innings, but allowed an ugly 10 earned runs in 10 2/3 innings pitched in two losses. Despite all of that he lowered his ERA on the season to 3.89. Look for Morton to continue the momentum from this start in his first July start against San Francisco Giants next week.
