Morton fans 13 over 7 scoreless to lift Astros

HOUSTON -- Halfway through their regular season, one thing is certain about the 2018 Astros: When their pitching is on, they're a problem for opposing teams.

Astros starter Charlie Morton cruised through seven scoreless innings in Houston's 7-0 win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday at Minute Maid Park. Morton collected 13 strikeouts, one shy of tying his career high, in his 10th win of the season.
