Charlie Morton, Braves seek sweep of Marlins

Field Level Media

Veteran right-hander Charlie Morton, who has won nine of his past 11 decisions, will be on the mound on Wednesday night as the red-hot Atlanta Braves try for a three-game sweep of the host Miami Marlins.

Morton, 37, is aging like a fine Pinot Noir. Since 2017, he is 58-22. For the rest of his career, he is just 46-71.

This year, Morton is 11-4 with a 3.49 ERA. He allowed 10.2 hits per nine innings last year, although a sore shoulder and a subsequent drop in velocity had a lot to do with those statistics.
