The way Charlie Morton is pitching at home, the surging Atlanta Braves could be in good shape to sweep their three-game home set against the Houston Astros.
Amid a three-game scoreless stretch at home, the 38-year-old right-hander looks to help the Braves to a 12th win over their last 13 in Sunday's series finale against the Astros.
Morton (6-5, 4.04 ERA) is 4-1 with a 3.07 ERA in 12 home starts this season, but has been especially dominant there of late. In his last three home starts -- against the Los Angeles Angels, Philadelphia and the New York Mets, Morton has allowed eight hits, five walks and hit four batters while striking out 27 over 19 1/3 scoreless innings.
