PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Atlanta Braves starter Charlie Morton was struck in the pitching elbow by a line drive Saturday and lasted only two innings against Philadelphia in Game 4 of the NL Division Series, the second time in the last two postseasons the right-hander was forced out by a batted ball.
Last year, Morton sustained a broken leg after being hit by a comebacker in Game 1 of the World Series against Houston.
Facing the Phillies, Morton was hit by Alec Bohm's single traveling 71.9 mph to lead off the second.
