PITTSBURGH (CBSMiami/AP) – The Miami Marlins finally got their new manager a couple of wins over the weekend but they’ll face a tough challenge on Monday night.
The Pittsburgh Pirates’ pitching staff turned in an impressive weekend, and their next man in line has more at stake than continuing the club’s recent form.
Charlie Morton makes his season debut Monday night trying to prove he belongs in the rotation after a disquieting spring as the Pirates conclude an eight-game homestand with three against Miami.
Morton has been on the disabled list all season after spring training struggles followed offseason hip surgery.
