LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - Adam Morgan's pitch to be the Phillies fifth starter was cut short on Thursday night when a thunderstorm postponed the team's game against Atlanta at Walt Disney World's Wide World of Sports Complex.
Morgan pitched three scoreless innings before the game was postponed with no score at the start of the fourth inning. He struck out two batters, allowed two hits, and walked one. The lefthander is competing with righthander Vincent Velasquez for the final spot in the starting rotation.
Both pitchers have been effective this spring but present clashing styles. Morgan is a crafty lefthander that relies on breaking pitches instead of a charging fastball.
