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.
Morton became the fifth Astros pitcher since 2000 to collect double-digit wins prior to the All-Star break, joining Dallas Keuchel (11, 2015), Roy Oswalt (12, '05), Roger Clemens (10, '04) and Wade Miller (11, '01).
