Charlie Morton has made two All-Star teams and closed out a World Series, so when he takes the mound for the Atlanta Braves on the verge of elimination in NLDS Game 4, he’s probably not going to be phased by the electricity of Citizens Bank Park.
It is ironic that Morton will be making this start against the Philadelphia Phillies, because his unlikely early-30s star turn began with the team in 2016.
The Phillies acquired Morton in a trade from the Pittsburgh Pirates in December of 2015, a year after he went 9-9 with a 4.81 ERA.
