ADMITTEDLY, SUCCESS is a relative term when discussing a pitcher who had lost four straight games with an earned run average seriously trending in the wrong direction.
Still, Phillies lefthander Adam Morgan had survived a shaky first inning on Monday night against the Chicago Cubs and was keeping the Phillies in the game. A quality start against the best team in baseball would at least be something that could be built upon. Still, a quality start is defined as going six innings with no more than three earned runs. Morgan already had surrendered three through the first four.
