Charlie Morton Improves to 7-0 With Seven-Inning Gem
6 years agoTampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Charlie Morton shut down the Tigers on Wednesday, pitching seven innings and allowing just five hits and no runs with eight strikeouts and no walks. Morton has been extremely reliable and consistent this year, allowing two or fewer earned runs in all but two of his 13 starts. Going into Wednesday's start, Morton had been holding opponents to a batting average of just .195 while maintaining a stellar ground-ball rate of 51.9%. He's a must-start pitcher right now, keep rolling him out there.
