Charlie Morton has been a critical reason behind the Astros‘ early success this season. But every pitcher will eventually have a rough start or two, no matter the past success. Morton’s start on Saturday evening is proof.
Morton’s stat line on 6/9
- 3.2 IP
- 1 H
- 2 R/1 ER
- 6 BB
- 4 SO
- 87 pitches-47 strikes
The six walks were a season-high, and career-high, for Morton. But the kicker in the outing was the four batters he hit throughout the course of the game. Again, a season-high and career-high.
