Charlie Morton allowed one run in 6 2/3 innings and took the loss against the Reds on Monday.
Morton gave up six hits, walked two and struck out seven. Morton pitched well enough to win, but the Braves failed to support him with any runs on Monday. He’s allowed three runs or less in each of his last six starts, but only has two wins in that time. Morton is 8-8 with a 4.11 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 155 strikeouts in 149 this year. The 40-year-old right-hander is set to face the Dodgers at home this weekend.
